Thomas,

No ... the TSM 4.2.1.20 doesn't backup files in the TSM B/A client staging
directory, C:\ADSM.SYS.  You can see this by issuing a Q INCLEXCL from the
dsmc command-line client:

Excl All       C:\ADSM.SYS\...\*              Operating System

I would recommend sending the results of the NTBACKUP backup to another
directory.  If you really need C:\ADSM.SYS included, you can code a server
client-option INCLEXCL "INCLUDE C:\ADSM.SYS\...\*"; this will over-ride
the auto exclude on the client.

Thanks,

Hi TSM-ers,

in our PRESCHEDCMD I use the following commands to backup
some Windows 2000 Information to directory c:\adsm.sys

NTBACKUP backup systemstate /f c:\adsm.sys\active.bkf
MSINFO32 /report c:\adsm.sys\msinfo.txt /categories +all

Unfortunately TSM 4.2.1.20 doesn't seem to backup those files.
My include/exclude looks like:

exclude "*:\microsoft uam volume\*"
exclude "*:\microsoft uam volume\...\*"
exclude "*:\...\ea data. sf"
exclude "*:\...\pagefile.sys"
exclude "*:\...\ibmbio.com"
exclude "*:\ibmdos.com"
exclude "*:\msdos.sys"
exclude "*:io.sys"
exclude.dir *:\recycled
exclude.dir *:\recycler
exclude.dir *:\...\system32\wins
exclude.dir *:\...\system32\LServer
exclude.dir *:\...\system32\dhcp
exclude.dir *:\...\system32\config
exclude.dir "*:\system volume information"
exclude *:\...\system32\perflib*.dat
exclude.dir "*:\...\temporary internet files"
exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\ntuser.dat.LOG"
exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\ntuser.dat"
exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\usrclass.dat.LOG"
exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\usrclass.dat"
Exclude *:\...\*.dmp
Exclude *:\...\*.tmp

Is it true that I can't write additional files to c.\adsm.sys and use
TSM to backup these files?

Kind regards
