Re: include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
In the recent postings on Include/Exclude, there isn't mention of the use of the 'dsmc query inclexcl' command. That can be a great aid in illuminating how the Include/Exclude statements compile - particularly in conjunction with the out-of-sight client option set Include/Excludes that reside on the server. Take advantage of all the TSM aids available to you, to make life a little easier. Richard Sims, BU
include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
Hi All, I was hoping I could get some feedback on the syntax of a set of files that I am trying to include during backup. Currently, my exclude.list file looks like so: exclude.dir /u[0-9][0-9] include.file /u38/exp/.../*.* I'm trying to get TSM to backup all the files and subdirs under /u38/exp, but still exclude all the the other u* directories and files. I must be doing something wrong, as TSM is still excluding /u38/exp. I've tried a few different combinations, but with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Holly L.

Re: include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
I believe exclude.dir is processed first regardless of where it is stacked in the list. You will have to work your exclude.dir statements so there isn't one that will hit true on the u38 directory; exclude.dir /u[0-2,4-9][0-9] exclude.dir /u3[0-7,9] Hope this helps.

Re: include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
exclude.dir trumps the include.file. If you exclude a directory TSM won't glance at any files under that directory even if you explicitly tell it to do so. You will have to either exclude all the directories but that one exclude.dir /u[0-2,4-9][0-9] exclude.dir /u[3][0-7,9] Or you might look at a domain statement to limit your backups. Have fun! Kai.

Re: include/exclude syntax question for TSM Unix Client
Tivoli Storage Manager evaluates all exclude.dir statements first (regardless of their position within the include-exclude list), and removes the excluded directories and files from the list of objects available for processing. The exclude.dir statements override all include statements that match the pattern.
