I have TDP for MSSQL.  For the regular B/A client exclude for SQL is:

Exclude *:\...\*.LDF
Exclude *:\...\*.MDF

Thses can't be backed up by B/A client anyway as they are "in use".  
Exclude just saves the time of trying and the errors in actlog etc.

I have a client that is using the TDP agents for MS-Exchange, Lotus Domino
and MS-SQL Server. These clients are also being backed up with the regular
TSM B/A client.

Could someone give us some pointers on exclude lists for the TSM B/A client
so that it doesn't backup the same data the TDP agent is backing up? The TDP
manuals don't go into this aspect of the 'total server' backup strategy.

Thanks,
