Are you sure it skips /var ?
Could it be that /var is just a subdirectory under the filesystem / ?
(and you don't see "~...processing file system /var...~" ? )
I'd also double check the include/exclude list specified in the dsm.sys file
for the tsm server being used.
I'd also check the restart data of the scheduler against the last time the
dsm.sys file or the include/exclude list file was changed... if either of
those files are newer than the last start time of the scheduler, I'd bounce
the scheduler and see what happens.
Not that anyone would ever do this BUT someone might set an include/exclude
list to
exclude /.../*
bounce the scheduler
set the include/exclude list back to normal (to make things ~look~ OK).
(sigh...)
WOW ! gives me an idea...
        a daily job that reports to me any clients that have save dates for
those files which are newer than the last bounce date of the scheduler
task...

Subject: /VAR skipped during incremental


Hi *SM-ers!
I have got one TSM client (4.2.1.0) which skips /VAR during an incremental.
dsmc i /var works fine, there are no errors in the dsmerror.log.
Does anybody know what could be the cause of this?
Thanks in advance!
Kindest regards,
