Help on exclude files ...Please
Hi to all Please help me I tried to exclude files or directories on a Linux Client version 5.5.03 without any success and it makes me crazy. I want to backup / and /boot Under/ I have several directories as /var/tmpor /var/log or /tmp I don't want to backup In the dsm.opt I add this line: domainALL-LOCAL In the dsm.sys I add this line: inclexcl /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/cciprnt.excl On the file cciprnt.excl I tried several options as exclude.dir and more … but always I saw the files on /tmp or /var/tmp One example of this file: exclude.dir/var/tmp exclude.dir/var/log exclude.dir/tmp exclude.dir/root/Archive include/.../* include/boot/.../* Regards Robert Ouzen

Hi Robert, You know that TSM reads the include and exclude from the bottom and up. Plus that exclude.dir doesn't work in UNIX/Linux. (Don't know if they finally have include that to 5.5 client) but you should type like Exclude /var/tmp/* To exclude all data in /var/tmp Hope this helping you.

As I frequently advise, do 'dsmc q inclexcl' rather than inspecting client options files: have TSM report to you what *it* believes your Include-Exclude list to be, which will also pull in any server-side specs. Richard Sims

But, what I would do is do a 'dsmc q inclexcl' so you know what is and isn't picked up by the client. Your rules seem to be fine. What exactly is the client not doing or doing that is not up to your expectations? Exclude /var/tmp/* To exclude all data in /var/tmp Hope this helping you.

Re: Help on exclude files ...Please
Hi Richard and others I left only the /var/tmp/.../* on the inclexcl file to test , I do a q inclexcl as Richard suggest but I still see the files under /var/tmp ??? tsm q inclexcl *** FILE INCLUDE/EXCLUDE *** Mode Function Pattern (match from top down) Source File - -- - No exclude filespace statements defined. Excl Directory /.../.TsmCacheDir TSM Exclude All /var/tmp/.../* /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/cciprnt2.excl No DFS include/exclude statements defined.

Hi to all Eureka I just needed to kill the dsmcad , to load it back and I got what I need. ( I was loading the backup/restore from a browser) I exclude those directories with exclude.dir /var/tmp and it worked fine.
