how to exclude filesysystem ?

[chandru0078]

Dear friends

can anyone confirm that my method to incluexc is correct or not.

i need to exclude /db2 filesystem from backup. so i have edit the dsm.sys file as below but dsmsched.log shows its being backup again.After google in internet i found this suggestion exclude.fs /db2/* . Is it the correct way to exclude my /db2 filesystem?

Include/Exclude lists dictate what to backup, and what policies should files be placed under.

Exclude Statement Structures
exclude [file] Excludes files from backups and archives exclude.archive [file] Excludes file from archives exclude.fs [filesystem] Excludes filesystem from backups and archives exclude.dir [directory] Excludes directory from backups and archives exclude.compression [file] Excludes file from compression

Yes, you can use exclude.fs to do that. There is another alternative as well.
In the DOMAIN line(s), you define all file systems you want to back up. You can either list all you want to back up, or set it to "all-local" (default), which backs up all local file systems. You can also set it to "all-local - /db2", to back up all except /db2.

1)
EXCLUDE.FS /db2

2)
DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -/db2


You can choose either way. Exclude.fs might be the more intuitive way to do it. Both works equally well.

Hi
I don't understend why you use include options.
By default all files and directories implicitly included in backup
For exclude /db2/ you can use exclude.fs /db2
Add it in any place in dsm.sys. It will processed first.
In your excludes you exclude only files in this dris, not subdirs and files.

Hi staham

Thanks for the feedback. after edit dsm.sys i got below output and hope this will exclude my /db2 filesystem. I'll check dsmsched.log tomorrow morning to verify whether its been excluded from backup .Out of curiosity is there any different between export.fs /db2 vs export.fs /db2/* vs export.fs /db2/? which is more correct way or what is the differences


cat dsm.sys
exclude.fs /db2/

Hi,
Is your DB2 filesystem really named '/db2'? Or '/db2/<instance>/<node>'?
Please post 'mount -l'

Try this
exclude.fs /db2/.../*
