We must be missing something since we tried the DOMAIN  VOLNAME: way and
it wasn't happy/didn't backup anything.

Thanks for the info. I too felt it should work this way.

Re: [ADSM-L] Netware backup include/exclude/domain issues






I have something similar with a NetWare cluster here.  Any given server
has an instance of the TSM client loaded for the local SYS volume and
server specific information.  Then, each clustered resource (which has its
own volume) loaded on that server has another instance of the TSM client.
The dsm.opt file for the server contains the line:

DOMAIN                           SYS: SERVERSPECIFICINFO

This causes that instance of the TSM client to only backup sys and
serverspecificinfo, but skips the other volumes that are present on the
server

The dsm.opt file on the other volumes have the line:

DOMAIN                           VOLNAME:

and only backup the volume that is explicitly stated in the domain line.
There shouldn't be a need to negate volumes using DOMAIN.  Just explicitly
define the volume you want to backup.
