I should add that the simplest way to back up a directory is to
specify it as an operand to the dsmc Incremental command, which can be
achieved via a separate client schedule, where the directory name(s)
would be specified via the OBJects parameter, and use the OPTions
parameter for things like "-SUbdir=Yes".

You could achieve the same effect by defining /root as a
VIRTUALMountpoint and then specifying that in DOMain, but I would not
generally recommend that, as it artificially makes the directory a
filespace separate from its natural parent, which can make recoveries
less obvious.

Re: Question about scan files

2008-05-11 Thread Richard Sims 
The Exclude.FS and Exclude.Dir specs tell TSM not to enter the file  
system or directory at all, thus eliminating scanning.  Whereas those  
specs are wholly exclusionary (and are honored regardless of their  
position in the Include-Exclude list), you can't do like  
"Exclude.Dir /" and also have "Include /root/.../*", where /root is a  
directory within the "/" file system.  What you can do is utilize  
wildcard patterns with Exclude.Dir to exclude all directories under  
"/" except for the /root dir you want to back up.


And, note that specifying   Include   "/boot/…/*"
in your Inclexcl file is unnecessary as redundant to your DOMain  
specifications.  Note also that what you list in your DOMain specs  
must be actual file systems or VIRTUALMountpoint's.

Question about scan files

2008-05-11 Thread Robert Ouzen Ouzen 
Hi to all

 

I have a Linux client Tsm version 5.5.0.6  in my dsm.opt with the option Domain 
I have:domain"/" "/boot"   "/media/nss/VOL1"  

 I added on my dsm.sys an include  exclude statement :   inclexcl
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/mnhl.excl

 

On the mnhl.excl file I have those lines:

 

   Exclude  "/…/*"   

   Include   "/boot/…/*"

   Include   "/root/…/*"

   Include  "/media/nss/VOL1/*"

 

Under  the filesystem   "/"  I want to backup only "/root" directory,  the 
incremental backup this directory only as I wish   but it always scan all the 
files in the "/* filesystem

 

ANS189I  Processed   181,000  Files  

 

Did is a way to avoid this scan ??? and only scan and backup  the "/root"  
directory .

 

T.I.A  Regards
