Hallo TSM'ers, I have a situation where it seems the subidr option is being ignored for a backup.
>From the base TSM install dir I created the following directory structure; .../sub1/sub2/ and placed a file called testfile within it. What follows is a transcript from some testing I did, that appears to show that even with 'subdir yes' in the dsm.opt subdirs are only being backed up when I use the -subdir=y option on the TSM> command line. The O/S & TSM client details are; SunOS lomond 5.8 Generic_108528-25 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880 Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface - Version 5, Release 2, Level 0.0 TSM Server Version 5, Release 2, Level 2.3 If anyone can say what I'm doing wrong, or confirm it as a problem, would be much appreciated.
