Lan,

In general, DOMAIN is used to specify drives or special objects such as
the system objects, system services, etc. Since \\nodename\g$\inetpub is
most likely a directory, not a drive or share name, it is not a valid
DOMAIN item. As I mentioned before, I would recommend that you read the
client manual to gain a better understanding of the TSM client. Check out
the chapter that describes the client options, and look up the DOMAIN
statement.

If you want to back up only the inetpub directory (and its files and
subdirectories), you have several options:

1) Use the GUI backup function, navigate to the desired directory, click
the checkbox to the left of the directory name, then back it up.

2) From an OS prompt, run:

   dsmc i g:\inetpub\ -subdir=yes

3) Define a schedule on the server where ACTION=INCREMENTAL,
OBJECTS="g:\inetpub\", and OPTIONS="-subdir=yes".

4) I suppose you could define a network share that points to the inetpub
directory, perhaps something like the following:

   net share inetpub=g:\inetpub

Then in the options file you could have a DOMAIN statement like this:

   domain \\nodename\inetpub

(where "nodename" is the machine name, i.e. \\nodename\inetpub is the UNC
name for the share)

Then a regular incremental backup will back up only the files and
directories in that share. Note that the account used to back up the share
must have access to network resources (LocalSystem typically does not have
such access).

5) Another method would be to specify the following in your options file:

   domain g:
   exclude *:\...\*
   include g:\inetpub\...\*

This will cause all *directories* in G: to be traversed and backed up, but
only the *files* in g:\inetpub and its subdirectories will be backed up.

5) If the method in #4 is inadequate for your needs; for example, if there
is a very large number of files and directories on G: making a traversal
of the entire file system too time-consuming, then consider methods #1,
#2, #3, and/or #4. Also see my post to Eric on 31 October 2003 for
additional hints on configuring include, exclude, and exclude.dir.

Andy

Hi,

Can you define a domain as
DOMAIN: "\\nodename\g$\inetpub\
,then only backup this domain?
