I am trying to see if I am on the right track here. I don't have a test Netware server to play with. Please let me know if I am thinking correctly, or if I am way off base. Thanks
I have recently been told that we need to backup certain files on a machine weekly, and the rest of the files on the same machine daily. I think the way to go about this is to add another nodename in the dsm.opt file (Netware server here), along with the excludes/includes for that "node". So, the dsm.opt my NW-DCO-Server4 would look something like this... +++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************************ * Tivoli Storage Manager ************************************************************************ COMMMETHOD TCPip TCPSERVERADDRESS 200.1.1.41 TCPPORT 1500 ************************************************************************ NODENAME NW-DCO-Server4 EXCLUDE sys:\system\secaudit.log EXCLUDE sys:\system\events.log EXCLUDE sys:\system\system.log EXCLUDE sys:\system\btrieve.trn EXCLUDE SYS:\system\tsa\err$hst.* EXCLUDE sys:\system\tsa\err$log.* EXCLUDE sys:\system\tsa\skip$log.* EXCLUDE sys:\system\tsa\tsa$temp.* EXCLUDE sys:\system\sys$log.err EXCLUDE sys:\_swap_.mem EXCLUDE sys:\vol$log.err EXCLUDE sys:\tts$log.err EXCLUDE VOL1:\DEPT\VOLNTEER\VWORKS\...\* NWPWFILE YES QUIET PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE SCHEDLOGRETENTION 5 NWIGNORECOMPRESSBIT YES ************************************************************************ NODENAME NW-DCO-Server4.a EXCLUDE * INCLUDE VOL1:\DEPT\VOLNTEER\VWORKS\...\* NWPWFILE YES QUIET PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE SCHEDLOGRETENTION 5 NWIGNORECOMPRESSBIT YES +++++++++++++++++++ I would have to define the node NW-DCO-Server4.a to TSM, and schedule it for weekly backups with the original schedule for daily backups. Am I on the right track here? Am I missing something? Is there a different/better way to do this? Thanks Todd
