Andy,

The main directory in D:\1TSMTEST, spreadsheet.xls is just a file within
that directory that we are trying to do a test encryption on.

Let me also state that the TSM Software is installed on the C: drive
along with all the other software, the D: drive is the Data drive and
only stores the data needed to be backed up.  Ultimately, the client
wants ALL-LOCAL drives  (C: and D:) Encrypted and backed up.

I will make the fix the my exclude.backup line.  Thanks.

I don't know if only encrypting one file is the issue or not?

Do you actually have a directory called "test spreadsheet.xls" ?

Probably not contributing to the issue, but your exclude.backup statement
should be corrected to read:

exclude.backup *:\...\*

My client is running Windows 2003 client OS Version 5.02  and our TSM
server is 5.1.6.3

We are trying to use the TSM Encryption Options but we are running into
some issues.

We have the Encryption lines in the dsm.opt file:

ENCRYPTIONTYPE   AES128
ENCRYPTKEY   SAVE

Exclude.Backup "*\...\...\*"
INCLUDE "D:\1TSMTEST\...\*"
Include.Encryption "D:\1TSMTEST\test spreadsheet.xls\...\*"

But when the client invokes a backup, it does not ask for the encryption
password the first time.

Is this version of windows with the version of the TSM server we are
running not supported or is there some other fix needed in the dsm.opt

file?

Thanks,
Roger


P.S.  I have been successful with this exercise using Windows XP client
OS version 5.01 and TSM Version 5.1.6.3
