That's pretty easy actually. Find the directory(ies) that contain the
actual Oracle data. (Call it /foo/bar.) If data base files are the
directory contains, the dsm.opt file should contain the line
        exclude /foo/bar/.../*
If the database files are scattered around, use
        exclude /.../*.dbf (or whatever the extension is for Oracle db
files)

You don't need exclusion lines for the tdpo option files.
