Re: ADSM (Aix) - Include/Exclude list syntax ?

This should work. I am not aware of any defects related to include/exclude
processing.

Some questions for you:

1) Do you have the statement:

     inclexcl /etc/adsm.inclexcl

in the dsm.sys file?

2) Does the "inclexcl" statement come some time after a "servername" setting in
dsm.sys? (In other words, make sure that "inclexcl" does not appear before the
first "servername" setting.)

3) If you have more than one "servername" stanza, do you have this "inclexcl"
statement in the stanza that your client is using?

4) Have you restarted the ADSM scheduler since you last changed the
adsm.inclexcl file and/or put the "inclexcl" statement in dsm.sys?

Subject: ADSM (Aix) - Include/Exclude list syntax ?

Can anyone help me ? I posted a note on a similar subject a few weeks ago, and
had some responses, however I still seem to have
some problems.

I am trying to get the include/exclude options to work.

I have the following code in my include/exclude options file
(/etc/adsm.inclexcl)

exclude /unix
exclude /.../core
exclude /.../.SpaceMan/.../*
include /llog/speth01v72/log.Z[0-9] 10DAY
exclude /llog/speth01v72/log
exclude /sort2/*
exclude /sort2/.../*

The problem is that the file "log" (see directory listing below) is always
backed-up, along with the files "log.Zn". Is the syntax
of my exclude option correct ?

Also all files in the "/sort2" filesystem are also backed-up !


/llog/speth01v72}
-rw-rw-rw-   1 informix informix 24690688 Mar 31 14:17 log
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     informix      29 Mar 30 23:00 log.start
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     informix      29 Mar 30 23:00 log.start
-rw-rw-rw-   1 informix informix  729161 Mar 28 22:00 log.Z0
-rw-rw-rw-   1 informix informix  729161 Mar 28 22:00 log.Z0
-rw-rw-rw-   1 informix informix 1081681 Mar 27 22:00 log.Z3
-rw-rw-rw-   1 informix informix 1081681 Mar 27 22:00 log.Z3
-rw-rw-rw-   1 informix informix 150453577 Mar 27 18:40 log.Z2
-rw-rw-rw-   1 informix informix 150453577 Mar 27 18:40 log.Z2
should i be using "exclude /.../sort2/*" ? Surely this would backup ANYshould i 
be using "exclude /.../sort2/*" ? Surely this would backup ANY
directory/subdirectory called "sort2" ?

Any help on the correct way to get the exclude option working would be
appreciated.
