I believe If the management class has copymode=absolute it should do a full
backup but still go through the include/exclude list.
What I would like to do is be able to have two management classes in the
same policy,(one doing incrementals one doing fulls) and be able to switch
betweeen them. Fulls on the weekend and incrementals during the week.

Subject: exclude archive question
aix 4.3.3
adsm 3.1.2.40
I am sure this is a simple question but I need someone to reconfirm my
thought. I have a filesystem /oracle/PR1. In it there are several
subdirectories i.e. /oracle/PR1/bin, /oracle/PR1/exec etc that I need backed
up daily. There are also some filesystems /oracle/PR1/sapdata101
/oracle/PR1/sapdata201 etc that I only want backed up when I do a "cold
backup"(which is done to a different management class). We were doing an
incremental on /oracle/PR1 with a sub=yes and the filesystems that I didn't
want backed up were in the incl/excl list. We are now implementing disaster
recovery and I want a full copy of those directories and subdirectories
every day. So I had planned to do an archive. That leads to the problem.
If I do an archive sub=yes then I will get all of the filesystems that I
don't want. If I don't do a sub=yes then I miss an ever changing number of
subdirectories. My only solution appears to be do a selective every night.
Is there something I am missing? Can I do excludes on the command line?
Any assistance y'all can offer would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
