Is there a way in TSMVE to exclude a specific directory on a machine? I know there is the exclude.vmdisk option to exclude an entire disk, but is there any more granular control over that?

For example, I have a sql box that I want to exclude the sql directories from, so we can use tdpsql to back those up seperately.

The only thing I can think of is that we'd have to completely exclude the vm, and install the baclient. I was just curious if there was a deeper level of exclusions possible on TSMVE.

If you have the latest version of TSM for VE, you can backup SQL as part of the VM backup, but as a database backup: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8TDQ_7.1.6/ve.user/c_vesql_protect.html
So you'd kill two birds with one stone.
