Easy Question

How do I backup the folder structure on a drive without backing up the files. For instace: On a SQL server, I want to backup the entire folder structure but not backup the SQL files since they will be restored via TSM for SQL.

Thanks!

Exclude the files via include/exclude lists. The directory structure still gets backed up and can be restored.

I know that part but what is the syntax to exclude all files and only backup the folder structure? I tried: 'exclude.file e:\*' but that only excluded the files in the root folder. I need to exclude all files on the drive even if I don;t know the file names.

exclude e:\...\*

TSM will backup the directory structure by default unless you specifically put in exclude.dir entries.
