You will find a "typical" exclude file called dsm.smp in the directory tree
where you expanded the windows client.

TSM_BA_Client\baclient\program files\Tivoli\TSM\config\dsm.smp

This is a good starting point for a standard include/exclude for your site,
but you still need to tune it for your site.    If you rename that file to
dsm.opt, it will be installed on the clients that you install from this
directory structure.

If you are running V4.2, the swap file, or PAGEFILE.SYS is excluded by
default.  You will receive an error if you Exclude that file in your dsm.opt
or in a client option set.

You will find many other suggestions for various applications and special
scenarios on this list at www.adsm.org.
