TSM not considering excludes in dsm.opt?

[kfiresmith]

Hi guys,
I've got a problem on a couple of W2K3S clients running 5.5.0-4.
These nodes are completely ignoring their dsm.opt exclude statements.


Here's an opt file:

NODENAME    thisnode
PASSWORDACCESS    GENERATE
TCPPORT    1500
TCPSERVERADDRESS    that.backup.server
CASESENSITIVEAWARE    YES
RESOURCEUTILIZATION    1

Here's an example of the errors I'm getting:

04/22/2008 01:58:13 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\thisserver\c$\WINDOWS\system32\CatRoot\{127D0A1D-4EF2-11D1-8608-00C04FC295EE}\TimeStamp' failed

All exclusions were made via the GUI.

Any idea of why it's still trying to back up the 'WINDOWS' folder?

Thanks!

Could you post a "dsmc q inclexcl"? That'll give us the whole picture.

Guten Tag PJ, thanks for the reply.

We just re-did the dsm.opt file completely and it now seems to be working. I'll post the inclexcls if it turns out to still not work.
All we did was pull a few stanzas out of the opt file and re-enter them by hand. (some sort of hidden special character maybe?)

hi,
maybe you just did not restart the client after modifying dsm.opt.

cheers

Thanks for the reply Max.
The GUI is only opened when a server admin wants to select something for exclusion/inclusion, then it's closed again. The schedules that refuse to play by the rules are done when the GUI is closed.
