Subject: [ADSM-L] Exclude Files From Restore?
Greetings,
In our environment, restores are by and large performed by the
Operations group. These are a simple folk, unschooled in the murky
depths of ADvanced STorage And Retrieval.
It has come to pass that the Threat and Vulnerability group is battling
a virus contamination. The infection takes the form of a file of a
specific name, which can appear anywhere on an infected server. It is
too late to prevent this file name from getting backed up to TSM.
A representative of the Threat and Vulnerability group has appealed to
me to configure TSM to prevent the possibility of this file name from
being restored inadvertently by Operations, for they are many, and work
in shifts, and are unlikely to consistently heed our admonitions.
>From what I can tell, Excludes in an option file or client option set
only apply to backups and archives, not to restores or retrievals.
I have considered waylaying each of the Operations group and tattooing
the offending file name on the inside of their eyelids, but that seems
impractical. They are scattered among multiple locations across the
country.
Seriously, though, is there a way in TSM to prevent already-backed-up
files from being restored?
Thanks,
Robben Leaf
