Control processing with exclude statements
After the client evaluates all exclude statements, the following options are evaluated against the remaining list of objects available for processing.
Table 1 lists the options that
you can use to control processing with include and exclude statements.
| Option | Description | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Back up processing | ||
| exclude
exclude.backup exclude.file exclude.file.backup |

| include
include.backup include.file |
Use these options to include files or assign management classes for backup processing. | Include options |
    include.fs |
Controls how the client processes your file space for incremental
backups. |

| exclude.fs.nas |
Excludes file systems on the NAS
file server from an image backup when used with the backup
nas command. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the
file system identified applies to all NAS file servers. The backup
nas command ignores all other exclude statements including exclude.fs and exclude.dir statements.
This option is for AIX® and Solaris
clients only. |

Toc for more information. This option is valid for all Windows clients. |

This option is valid for AIX, Solaris, Linux
x86_64, and Linux on POWER® only. |
Include options |
| include.image |
Includes a file space or logical
volume, assigns a management class, or allows you to assign one of
