We are currently implementing a "backup your laptop" service. One of our
goals is that the user must be able to do everything them selfs and that
we (the admins)  have as less work as possible. Another goal is that it
must work over slow connections since most of these users are travelling
and usually on low bandwidth connections.
So we decided to only backup office documents and the like. We enforce
this using client option settings and that all works pretty well. Only
thing is that if a users does a "dsmc i" it starts backing all these
system files because of asr. Which we don't want and is pretty useless
since we don't off "rebuild your laptop up to the last desktop icon" and
all other program files are excluded anyway. Now we tell the users to
type "dsmc i c: d:  z:"  but that is of course not as nice as a
exclude.asr or something.

regards

Subject: exclude ASR

Does anybody know if it is possible to exclude the ASR with a
client option set on the server? Or if it is possible to
exclude it in the dsm.sys file?
I have been searching a whole lot but can only find how to include it.

tsmclient 5.2.3
os: windows Xp

server 5.2.2.4
