I think you have to check/provide additional information:
1) from backup log, if available;
2) from client error logs (dsmshed.log, dsmerr.log, etc);
3) from TSM Server log.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Exluded file do not work - Can't understand why



Hello all,



I have a situation on a TSM Node that I don't understand.



I received a daily Failed Status from this  node regarding to this file:



09/21/2010 01:11:40 ANS1228E Sending of object
'\\vwaepasd00081\d$\NTDS\ntds.dit' failed

09/21/2010 01:11:40 ANS8010E An attempt to backup or archive a file has
exceed the maximum number of retries.





Dsm.opt (part):



SNAPSHOTCACHELOCATION     C:\TSM_VSS

SNAPSHOTPROVIDERFS               VSS

SNAPSHOTPROVIDERIMAGE     VSS

SNAPSHOTCACHESIZE   3



NODENAME VWAEPASD00081



EXCLUDE.FILE "D:\NTDS\ntds.dit"

EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\NTDS"



CHANGINGRETRIES 0





On TSM GUI I see the directory d:\NTDS excluded when I do a manual
backup.



On TSM Server:

Cloptset:

INCLEXCL                             7          No     exclude
*:\...\NTDS\ntds.dit



Management classes:  Backup the file (no retries)





TSM Node:

Windows 2003 R2 SP2 Standard Edition

TSM Client Version 6.2.0



TSM Server:

AIX 6.1

TSM Server 5.5.2





Any ideia for this issue?



Thanks

 TB
