Exclude EFI system partition file ?

[vilius.m]

Windows 2012 R2
TSM 7.1

I'm getting 2 errors in dsmerror.log:

ANS1228E Sending of object '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume2\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD' failed.
ANS4987E Error processing '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume2\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD': the object is in use by another process
ANS1228E Sending of object '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume2\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD.LOG' failed.
ANS4987E Error processing '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume2\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD.LOG': the object is in use by another process

I know that these files are not fatal and system could be restored.
I want to exclude those to remove warning messages in my monitoring, but:

EXCLUDE.BACKUP "\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume2\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD"
EXCLUDE.BACKUP "\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolume2\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD.LOG"

is not working.

Any ideas how to exclude files like this ?

Thanks,
Vilius M.

Upgrade your TSM Client to the latest. There's an APAR for that and it's fixed: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT03810

My client is v7.1.4.4.

You should probably open a PMR then as you have the same symptoms as described in the APAR.

Those files are part of the systemstate backup, TSM has no control on what's included/excluded from that backup. TSM is backing up the files that the VSS writers tells it to backup. Those are the files that Microsoft want backed up as part of the systemstate backup.

Error disappeared after downgrading to v7.1.4.0.
