Hello Kai,

The exclude.dir should not affect your archives. But be aware of APAR
IC31329:
   "EXCLUDE.DIR IS HONORED DURING AN ARCHIVE"
This is fixed in the 4.2.2.1 client level.

Subject:    can I archive under excluded directories?


Oh most excellent TSM'ers, who have been there and done that!

Using 4.x client talking to a 4.x host: If I exclude.dir a subdirectory,
can
I archive files from beneath that directory and have them last? The "Using
the B/A client" manual says that you can perform selective backups from
underneath an excluded directory, but the files expire with the next
incremental. Will archives work anyway, or do I need to set up another
"node" on the same box with a complementary inclexcl list?

Thanks,
Kai.
