Backing up all-local drives using selective

[pstephen]

I need to backup all the local drives on several Windows client nodes. Some of these machine have only a C: drive, some have C: and D: and some have more. I want to create one TSM scheduled Selective command to backup all local drives on these machines.



If I was using the Incremental command simply scheduling the incremental command would cause the backup on each machine to read the "DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL" statement in each nodes dsm.opt file and backup all the local drives.



I would like to schedule one selective command that will do the thing as the incremental command (read the DOMAIN statement and any include/excludes in the dsm.opt and backup accordingly).



What should I put in the OBJECTS field of my selective schedule or what could I put in the selective command line filespec to do a selective ALL-LOCAL???



Thanks for any guidance or insights you can provide.

Use 'dsmc macro sel.mac' as your scheduled command where sel.mac is a file on the client machines. It should contain a list of all drives to be backed up on each computer:



sel c:\* -su=yes

sel d:\* -su=yes

sel e:\* -su=yes



and etc.
