A minor correction: Even though you may find this example in some of the old TSM doc, this line is incorrect:
INCLEXCL "exclude '*:\...\*.*'" The correct syntax is INCLEXCL "exclude '*:\...\*'" The TSM include/exclude statements are executing a pattern match. Exclude '*:\...\*.*'" will only match filenames that have a period in them. In windows there are on occasion files that have no file extension, e.g. "c:\test\myfile" On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 7:48 AM, Adrian Compton <acomp...@aspenpharma.com>wrote: > Thanks you all for your replies. > Your advice has worked. > > Much appreciated Richard, Christian, Steven > > > > Adrian Compton > Aspen Pharmacare Port Elizabeth > tel: +2741 4072855 > Fax: +2741 453 7452 > Cell: +27823204495 > Email: acomp...@aspenpharma.com > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of > Christian Svensson > Sent: 11 June 2009 13:27 PM > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: [ADSM-L] SV: Windows Client DSM.opt file > > Hi, > Make sure your Exclude is first and not last. > > INCLEXCL "RETRYPERIOD 0" > INCLEXCL "CHANGINGRETRIES 0" > INCLEXCL "INCLUDE 'NT' NT_TAPE_DAILY" > INCLEXCL "DIRMC NT_DIRECTORIES" > INCLEXCL "exclude '*:\...\*.*'" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.xls'" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.doc'" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.ppt'" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.pst'" > > As everyone else also recommend. run q inclexcl in DSMC on the client to > see more information. > > Best Regards > Christian Svensson > > Cell: +46-70-325 1577 > E-mail: christian.svens...@cristie.se > Skype: cristie.christian.svensson > ________________________________________ > Från: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [ads...@vm.marist.edu] för Adrian > Compton [acomp...@aspenpharma.com] > Skickat: den 11 juni 2009 11:24 > Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Ämne: Windows Client DSM.opt file > > Hi All > > I am trying to create a dsm.opt file to only backup all Office files as > Tech Support are rolling out new desktops and I want to make sure they > dont miss any critical data. > > I have the following so far but it backups the entire C: > > INCLEXCL "RETRYPERIOD 0" > INCLEXCL "CHANGINGRETRIES 0" > INCLEXCL "INCLUDE 'NT' NT_TAPE_DAILY" > INCLEXCL "DIRMC NT_DIRECTORIES" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.xls'" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.doc'" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.ppt'" > INCLEXCL "include '*:\...\*.pst'" > INCLEXCL "exclude '*:\...\*.*'" > > Is there not a simpler method of just stating all .xls, .doc, .ppt etc > > Thanks > > > > > > > > Adrian Compton >
