Excluding Files from backup on Different Days.
Hello All, I have a TSM Client 4.2.1 on Windows NT 4. I would like to exclude all PST files in my backup. (exclude ?:*.pst) But now management has requested that we backup these files once a week. Is there a way in my option file or on the TSM Server that I can set this up to backup my pst files once a week. Any help would be great! Chad
Re: Excluding Files from backup on Different Days.
I would use archive Now with an archive you have to be disk specific but you could do something like this for each drive attached... archive -subdir=yes C:\*.pst archive -subdir=yes F:\*.pst using the -subdir=yes ~should~ force TSM to go down the tree find all .pst files on the disk double check in your environment... I'm a unix-ie and the last time I checked in a unix envornment something like archive -subdir=yes /home/*.xyz would pick up any *.xyz in any subdirectory... hope this helps Dwight -Original Message- From: Gent, Chad E.

Hello Chad, create new management class (newmgmt for example) for .pst files and use include ... statement to assign this mgmt class to them. include ?:\...\*.pst newmgmt In newmgmt class set frequency parameter in copy group definition to 7 (if you want backup pst files once a week).

Re: Excluding Files from backup on Different Days.
Chad: You could set up a separate mgmtclass that uses the frequency paramater. Then add an include in your client option file to bind the pst files to that mgmtclass. FREQuency Specifies how frequently TSM can back up a file. This parameter is optional. TSM backs up a file only when the specified number of days has elapsed since the last backup. The FREQUENCY value is used only during a full incremental backup operation. This value is ignored during selective backup or partial incremental backup. You can specify an integer from 0 to . The default value is 0, meaning that TSM can back up a file regardless of when the file was last backed up. Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg -Original Message- From: Gent, Chad E.

Re: Excluding Files from backup on Different Days.
O.k sounds great. But Where do I set up the management class? Is it in the client option file or on the server?

On the Server, see DEFINE MGMTCLASS and DEFINE COPYGROUP. -Original Message- From: Gent, Chad E.

Re: Excluding Files from backup on Different Days.
Management Class is defined in the same policy domain with the node, it is just not the default one. Then in the inclexcl (either a file or in the dsm.opt) you specify for a include \...\*.pst [management-class] It is all documented in the admin reference -Original Message- From: Gent, Chad E.
