dsm.opt exclude partition but include .mdb

[Udo]

Hello,
on partition d:\ I only want to backup .mdb files which are located in different folders. Everything else should excluded from backup.
How can I do that?
I thougt I have to add the following, but it isn`t working:

Include.Backup "D:\...\...\mdb.*"
EXCLUDE.Backup "D:\...\...\*.*"

Thanks

Correct your include entry. it should be *.mdb and not mdb.*
Include.Backup "D:\...\...\*.mdb"

 

[Udo]

Oh, maybe I am stupied, this was a mistake from me!
But after changing the other files in the GUI are not excluded!

 

[eddytrio]

your statement should be

exclude "d:\...\*"
include "d:\...\*.mdb"

Try and share the result

 

[Udo]

Now it looks like this:

EXCLUDE.Backup "D:\...\*"
Include.Backup "D:\...\*.mdb"

and second try:

exclude "d:\...\*"
include "d:\...\*.mdb"

and the problem is the same.
In the GUI I can select it for backup.

Thanks

Hi,

did you restart the tsm client services (incl. dsmcad) after making the changes in your dsm.opt?

 

[Udo]

yes, each time after changing dsm.opt

 

[rznadmin]

Can you post your complete dsm.opt?

What is inside InclExcl.opt?

There may be conflicts or overridding statements there.

Hi,
did you have try to switch the incl, excl entrees like:
include "d:\...\*.mdb"
exclude "d:\...\*"
as i know tsm reads the opt from the bottom.

Yes, the dsm.opt is being read from the bottom. Therefore the include statements have to be placed below excludes ;-)

this is the inclexcl.opt file. I can`t see any conflicts!

I think, if there where a conflict, it must be an include. Right?

 

[Udo]

And the solution is:

exclude "d:\*"
exclude "d:\...\*"
include "d:\*.mdb"
include "d:\...\*.mdb"

Thanks!
