I'm thinking the -dirsonly option was not available in 3.1. But perhaps
you could create a new node that uses an include/exclude list that
excludes all files. Then do an incremental backup. It will back up the
directory tree, but omit the files.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

Hello TSM guru's

     I currently have a 3.1.0.8 TSM AIX SP node client (with 4.2.1 AIX)
and
want to back up a file system, but only the file structure.  I do not need
to back up the files.  For DR purposes, I need the file/directory
structure.  I thought there was a parameter in the include for directories
only, but I am not sure if it is 3.1.0.8 compatible.  Any suggestions are
always welcome.
     Thanx in advance.
