Re: HELP:windows schedule question

Hi Liming,

Hmn, interesting - the inclexcl list looks fine to me (although you've a duplicate exclude for d:\...\* but that shouldn't make a difference).

Are you *sure* it's continuing to backup all of the *files* or might it be the *directories* that you are seeing backed up? These will all get backed up using the inclexcl list above, but not their file contents. There was a discussion into this (and possible ways around it) in linked from Andy Raibeck's post on this same thread yesterday.

Might you be able to send details of the schedule (f=d) as defined on the TSM server pls? Might also be worth mentioning the TSM client level etc as well.

Thanks David and Andy, I had inserted some lines into dsm.opt: exclude "d:\...\*" exclude.dir "d:\em\" exclude "d:\*" The client dsmc query inclexcl can get some lines as follow: Incl All d:\270.jpg dsm.opt Incl All c:\dsm.opt dsm.opt Excl All d:\* dsm.opt Excl All d:\...\* dsm.opt Excl All d:\...\* dsm.opt Excl Directory d:\em\ dsm.opt I had reboot the windows client,but the schedule still backup all files in d: drive.

If I understand your question correctly, I'll attempt to answer it in two ways - firstly, RTFM :o) See following links to the TSM Windows Backup Archive Client http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmc.doc/ans6000052.htm#idx129 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmc.doc/ans6000053.htm#idx130 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmc.doc/ans6000053.htm#inexsec http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmc.doc/ans6000055.htm#idx202 Next, some things you should know about exclude.fs: it takes precedence over any other 'normal' excludes or includes, as does exclude.dir etc - so logically, it will always be processed first, irrespective of actually order in your list. However, and most importantly here, EXCLUDE.FS is, I believe, a UNIX client only option, and not valid on Windows clients such as your example below. To achieve what you're looking for, try the following (deleting your existing includes and excludes from your dsm.opt first of all): exclude "d:\*" exclude "d:\...\*" include "d:\d270.jpg" Hope that helps, Rgds, David McClelland Storage and Systems Management Specialist IBM Tivoli Certified Deployment Professional (ITSM 5.2) SSO UK Service Delivery ?
