Remote computer with shared drive z:

2001-06-26 Thread Talafous, John G. 

Greetings.
  We have a TSM 3.7.2 server and a TSM 4.1.2 client in a remote location
that connects via a 256K connection. Consequently, we wish to only backup
data files and not program files. The remote computer is located in a sales
office in another state. The concept is for the mobile sales staff to copy
their document folders to drive Z: at their convenience. Then, the next
scheduled backup will send their data over the 256K connection to the TSM
server. Sounds simple, but I must have a conflict between the dsm.opt
include/exclude list and the client option set on the server. Can someone
with a clever eye have a look here and point me to the conflict?  The
dsm.opt file looks like this:

*Tivoli Storage Manager DSM.OPT file customized for the Timken Company
TCPSERVERADDRESS fhnsmw1.corp.timken.com
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
NODENAME PLEASANS
RESOURCEUTILIZATION 1
ERRORLOGRETENTION 7
SCHEDLOGRETENTION 7

include Z:\...\*
exclude *:\...\*.ost
exclude *:\...\*.pst

exclude Z:\Guelkerp PST\...\*
exclude Z:\Guidav PST\...\*
exclude Z:\Pattersr PST\...\*
exclude Z:\Roudebus PST\...\*
exclude Z:\Pleasans PST\...\*

The node is associated with client option set WINREMOTE. It looks like this:

ANS8000I Server command: 'q cloptset winremote'

I have also invoked dsmc.exe and issued the q inclexcl command. The results
are:

Again, I wish to include all of drive Z: except for the PST files. The
dsmsched.log shows drive Z: being scanned, but nothing is backed up. Where
is my conflict? Please?

John,

Your optionset may be what is preventing the backup from
occurring.  Include/exclude statements in an option set are appended to
the options in the dsm.opt file when the backup occurs.
Since include/excludes are processed bottom-up, first match those in an
optionset can easily override those in the dsm.opt file.  The clientoption:

  Option: INCLEXCL
Sequence number: 1
Override: Yes
Option Value: exclude *:\...\*

matches anything that is not under any *document*, personal or profiles
directories before it gets to the
  include Z:\...\*
option in the dsm.opt file.

You might want to move the exclude *:\...\* option to the client's option
file, above the include Z:\...\* option.
