Re: Include/Exclude list and missed files

Hi John,

In response to the first question, nope, I don't believe there is an easy way to do this from the server side (short of an SQL query that'll murder the server - anyone?). By far the simplest option generally is to pull the dsmsched.log (or other backup log output depending upon your scheduling mechanism) from the client.

Regarding your second question, you don't state it implicitly below but it's best to check - I presume all the remaining shares you specify in your cloptset *are* getting backed up successfully? If so, is there anything particularly different about this share as it appears to the client?

Subject	[ADSM-L] Include/Exclude list and missed files

Hi all, I ran into an issue over the weekend that I can't seem to figure out. We had one of our developers delete a folder from one of our Windows shares. I attempted to recover and realized that TSM had not been backing up this particular share! They ended up spending all weekend recreating the documents and I felt like a boob. This is really a two part question. The first is this: Does anyone have a query I can run against the database directly that will give me a list of all files backed up for a node during the last session? This will help as part of normal reporting. Previously we've been relying on checking for errors on our jobs but obviously this won't tell me WHAT was backed up. The second part is the client option set for the server I'm pasting below. Can anyone tell me why the \\clanas01\devteam share was NOT getting backed up based on this? I know I'm missing something simple but I want to make sure something else hasn't been getting missed. I created a test directory with a few different filetypes under that share and none of them got backed up last night. The server is running on Win2k and is TSM Version 5, Release 2, Level 3.0 Thanks in advance, John Optionset: CLANAS01 Description: Specific option set for the NAS Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN
