folks,
wondering about best practices for creating a general client option set on the server and defining additional options in the dsm.opt file on the client.
have 6 Windows servers needing to be backed up. 4 of these servers are going to be pretty standard as far as generic backup options, but there are another 2 that are going to need additional options as some subdirectories need to be excluded on one of the data volumes on one of the servers.
for instance, I am going to define "all-local" in my client option set so I back up each volume.
One of the servers I need to exclude the following directory: e:\projects\data\2016\...\...\procedures\temp. But I don't want to do that for all the clients of course.
If I just define exclude.backup "e:\projects\data\2016\...\...\procedures\temp" in the dsm.opt file on the client then update my client options set on the TSM server with the generic options will this work as expected?
also thinking of backing up system state on these clients. I have a pretty aggressive backup policy defined and only back up bookmarks and the user's working folder in the users folder on C drive plus all data volumes. if I specify backup systemstate will TSM automatically back up everything I need even if I have excluded the windows\system32 folder in my client options set?
thank you for any and all information.
cheers
