Here is a possibility:

Create a TSM client macro (plain text file) named, say, C:\BACKUP.MAC. The 
contents of this file would be:

   BACKUP REGISTRY
   INCREMENTAL D: E:

(The second line is an example of how you would back up other drives, 
although you could omit them if all you want is the registry.)

Next, create a schedule like this:

   DEF SCH STANDARD BACKREG ACTION=MACRO OBJECTS="C:\BACKUP.MAC"
   DEF ASSOC STANDARD BACKREG BURAK

This is just an example, substitute your own domain, schedule, file, and 
node names as appropriate.

If you don't want to use the TSM scheduler, you can launch the macro 
manually or via 3rd-party scheduler like this:

   DSMC MACRO C:\BACKUP.MAC

Hi, 
Yes you are right but it does not prevent backing-up the file structure 
and 
consuming database. I mean: 
Even if I had exclude c:\...\* in option file, all the file system 
structure 
(names of folders) are sent 
to TSM and saved to TSM database. This does not mean that it backs-up the 
files 
but it consumes 
TSM database with C:\Program Files\Common Files\... kind of folders. 


Regards, 
Burak

Burak, 

I'd try: 

Domain c:
Exclude *\...\* 

Presuming you only want the registry - which I have not tested - and
presuming that you aren't backing up any other files on c: or d:. 

Including anything would mean adding exclude.dir commands to exclude the
directory structures from backup. 

Please advise if this solves the problem.
