Hi TSMers

Running TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris and backing up a number of UNIX and Windows
2000 clients.

Quick question for you. If I have been backing up a large directory with
many sub directories and files, and those files have changed a number of
times so that I have a lot of active and inactive copies, what happens if I
then exclude that entire directory from backup?

Do some or all of those files undergo expiration or does TSM just ignore
them for good?

Thanks
