When you remove a filesystem, run "delete fi nodename filespace name" on the
server.

Filesytem exclude:     "exclude.fs /usr"

Or define which filesystems you backup.

        Subject:        how to EXPIRE UNIX files from unmounted/deleted file
system

        Hello all,
                In my seemingly never ending quest to get my tape retention
clean, I
        have come across a UNIX CLIENT problem.  There were some file
systems that
        were created for doing a temporary move/copy procedures.  While the
File
        system existed, it was backed up.  Now I have a tape that is 5
months old
        and has a bunch of data on it that worthless but does not want to
change to
        a status of INACTIVE.  I know I could take the tape and scratch it
with a
        DISCARD DATA option, but I want to do this in a clean way and make
it a part
        of the Stand Operating Procedure.  Does anyone know the proper
change to put
        into the include/exclude list so this UNIX client will have these
files
        marked INACTIVE?
        Matt
