I have seen this happen when you use the GUI setup wizard on the client.
It specifically happened to me when using it to configure the web client,
but may happen with the other configurations as well.  It does not happen
if you use the dsmcutil command.  It's easy to replicate, just make a
backup copy of your options file, run the wizard, view the original options
file again.

Hello

I have only installed TSM-client 4.11 on a few of my NT4.0 Servers yet.
I have got a Quite strange phenomena.

After a while some OPT-files on the clients have got all(!) of the
Include- and Exclude-
statements I have had there earlier totaly erased.

Have it perhaps something to do with the using of the
"Backup-client-GUI" on the nodes ?

(The TSM server I'm backing them up to is on AIX and at the moment ver
3.7)


Any hints ?

 I Am by the way (tomorrow) upgrading from ADSM ver 3.?? to TSM ver 4.11
on
a (two) Microsoft Cluster server (NT4.0) with MsSQL servers (7.0) on
them.

Are there anyone of You that has any experience of that ?


Thanks and Greetings from

Gunnar
