Hi TSMers,

Please could you assist me, the linux backup that is being run by
using a
script file with the command:-

dsmc backup sel and in the dsm.sys file the include options have been
set to
include / /boot & /usr and the copy mode is set to absolute to enable
full
backups always. I've checked the requirements for linux 6.0 using tsm
4.1
and all is okay.


Two questions, why would you want to do a selective every time? IMNSHO
this is a complete waiste of bandwith and tape capacity.

And, Linux 6.0? I guess this must be RedHat? Currently the linux kernel
is at 2.4.19, so I know you can't mean that....

Have you looked at the output of your dsmc s command? This will probably
tell you what it intents on backing up, much like dsmsched.log for
normal schedules.

For some reason ..it does not always backup /, and /boot.....

Any ideas....?????

Regards.
