Association between DOMAIN, include, exclude in dsm.sys/opt

[fmhweb]

Hi,

how does this work, e.g.:

exclude.dir "c:\...\system32"
include "c:\logs"
domain C:

Question 1)
Does it mean that all of the partition c is backedup, excluding "c:\...\system32". But what does the include mean. Is it a seperate backup, meaning the folder is being stored with "domain" and also with "include"(Default_MC)? Or is only "c:\logs" being stored all together?

Question 2)
What does the ... mean in "c:\...\system32"? All folder in root wich contain "system32" (Why not "*")?

Domain is the Windows drive that TSM looks to backup. Then it looks at the exclude.dir and says don't backup that directory or anything in it. And in your case above, the "include" line isn't necessary because it's already included as part of the "domain." You would need it if you were applying a separate management class to it, and it would look like this:

include "c:\logs" mgmtclass

"..." (ellipsis) in your example means don't backup any directory path ending in "system32". In your case you will not backup paths like......

c:\windows\system32
c:\test\system32
c:\windows\test1\test2\test3\test4\system32
