Yes by default all files are subfile backed up.  Use include.subfile and 
exclude.subfile.

>From the TSM Client manual:
After Tivoli Storage Manager evaluates exclude.dir and any other 
include-exclude options controlling backup, archive, image, and system objects 
processing, it uses the following options to determine which files undergo 
compression, encryption, and adaptive subfile backup processing:
exclude.compression
include.compression
exclude.encrypt
include.encrypt
exclude.subfile
include.subfile.

So to include only *.pst

Exclude.subfile *
Include.subfile *:\...\*.pst

That's what I thought, but does it mean that all files being backed up will
use the subfile backup? I just need one file to be backed up which is my
.pst files.

>From the TSM Admin Reference:
Set Subfile Client:
Use this command to set up the server to allow clients to back up subfiles.
On the client's machine, the SUBFILEBACKUP, SUBFILECACHEPATH, and
SUBFILECACHESIZE options must be specified in the client's options file
(dsm.opt).

It would seem that you are supposed to still need SUBFILEBACKUP YES in the
dsm.opt file.

Does it hold true that once you turned subfilebackup=yes in your dsm.opt all
backups from then on will use subfile? It seems to be the case because when
I backed up my 400 MB .pst file without adding an "include.subfile"
statement in my dsm.opt it went head and backed it up using subfile backup
by default and sent 9MB's to the tsmserver the 2nd time around.

When would I use the include.subfile option? When I have subfilebackup=no?

Reason why I'm asking this is because if I can limit the amount of storage
space on TSM for all .pst files that would great! Instead of doing a full
backup of the .pst file every time it changes.

Thanks

I don't have ay subfile includes, but if you start dsmc, you can use the
command "q incl" to see the full include - exclude list (client option set +

dsm.opt + operation system excludes). And this list is processed from top
to
bottom.
