Try the following.

Add 

Exclude.dir e:\dir1
Exclude.dir e:\dir2
. . . 

For each major tree on the e: drive.  This will keep tsm from traversing the 
trees at all.
More administration, but the only thing I can think of.
Exclude.dir is processed before standard excludes, therefore you cannot 
exclude.dir e:\ then include what you wanted.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Backup specific folder only

Thanks Paul ,Made the changes in the server dsm.opt


DOMAIN E:
Exclude "E:\...\*"
Include "E:\Oracle\...\*" 3mth_grp2_MC


Now only files/folders from "E:\Oracle" get backed up.But i noticed a problem 
when using the mentioned include/exclude , all the sub folders from all the 
other excluded folders get backed up as well.This i feel can cause unnecessary 
TSM DB growth .As each file/folder backed up consumes 4KB of TSM database space.


Is there some way to avoid TSM backing up the sub folder structure from all the 
other excluded directories...??
