I'm trying to track down exactly why the c:\temp directory wasn't backed
up on 2 Windows servers, and only these 2 Windows servers

OS: Win2003
TSM: 5.3.4

- When trying to restore some data in the C:\Temp directory (On both
servers), we found that the directory structures were all backed up, but
none of the files were.
- The logs show the directories being updated/backed up, but no files
- The q inclexcl doesn't show anything to indicate why these files might
be excluded
- The GUI backup doesn't have any "X's" or that
"circle-with-line-through-it" symbol which typically denotes exclusions
- running "dsmc i c:\temp" DOES back up the files, but then get expired
when the scheduled nightly backup runs.
- The only thing I noticed that makes this different from the other hosts.
 In the dsm.opt there are 2 options:
include.fs              c: FILELEVEL=dynamic
include.fs              d: FILELEVEL=dynamic

I think these are remnants from trying to troubleshoot snapshot issues.  I
can't imagine why this would exclude the temp directory.  I'm removing
these lines tonight to see what happens.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Shawn
