if you want to backup file system on AIX, it is easier to include them in your
file dsm.opt
like this

dsm.opt


Servername    adsm

Domain       /home  /usr    /usr/logs   /work

Subject: Include and Exclude List...


I am trying to setup an Include/Exclude list for an AIX server.

I exclude everything first, then include only the file systems that I wish
to backup.  I seem to be having a problem with this.  Any input would be
appreciated.

Here is what I have setup.

Option:             INCLEXCL
Sequence Number:    0
Override:      no
Option Value:       exclude *

Option:             INCLEXCL
Sequence Number:    1
Override:      no
Option Value:  include /cs2aarch/*

Option:             INCLEXCL
Sequence Number:    2
Override:      no
Option Value:  include /cs2parch/*

Option:             INCLEXCL
Sequence Number:    3
Override:      no
Option Value:  include /home/*

Option:             INCLEXCL
Sequence Number:    4
Override:      no
Option Value:  include /work/*
