Hi, we use

"include c:\adsm.sys\...* special" to assign a managent class to system
objects. Is this (still) correct?

I think include and exclude to the same directory isn't a good idea.

Yes. What the exclude does is exclude it from the backup of your C: drive.
But C:\adsm.sys is still backed up as a part of the system object or
system state backup.

Note that in version 5.3, TSM automatically excludes this directory.

I believe that the 5.2.4 client uses exclude c:\adsm.sys\...\*, so the
failures you see are probably on subdirectories of adsm.sys, not files. In
5.3, this has been changed to exclude.dir c:\adsm.sys.

Run the "dsmc query inclexcl" command to see how the adsm.sys dir is
currently excluded.

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
