Hi friends -
I need some knowledge/advice from you on what to exclude from the TSM restore in this scenario:
Say we have a Linux node - RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 ES - no databases - just the normal linux junk - it dies.
We have to rebuild the OS on another machine (same setup as before) and restore from the last backup.
Right now the exclusions for the backups look like this:
exclude /.../core
exclude /var/tmp/.../*
exclude /var/cache
exclude /unix
exclude /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/log/.../*
exclude /cdrom/.../*
exclude.dir /tmp
exclude.dir /scratch
exclude.dir /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
exclude.dir /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin
exclude.dir /mnt
I am fine with the exclusions, in case any 'normal' file needs to be restored...but let me know what you think I am missing.
Above it will not overwrite the TSM stuff which I am using to do the restore...
But I am just looking for what should NOT be overwritten if I have to restore the whole thing back onto a clean, filesystem ready 'pre-prepped' box.
Like which libraries (specifically if anyone knows...), kernel things like /usr/src ?, /var/run, /dev ...etc...
I am not a Linux person at this point in time - so any thoughts here are appreciated.
TIA!!!!
