Hi TSMers,

we have tsm-server/solaris 5.3.2.1 and Macintosh tsm-Klients at 5.3.2.1.

since starting with macOS 10.4 those Macintosh - Klients are coming into
the tsm-server with quite a lot of tsm-db entries.
Doing just normal incremental backups those TSM-Clients are appearing
with up to 100.000 Directories and in the range of up to 500.000 Files in 
tsm-db.
No Server - just acting as Labtops. The default-excludes that came
with the tsm-Klient Installation are active but don't seem to be very
efficient.

My question is: Has anyone some tipps how to handle that - are
we doing something wrong ?
Someone found extended reasonable excludes ?
Is there another way recommended for doing backup ? Is it reasonable
to propagate something else, for example to backup just and only
one Directory like /backup ?
We currently don't have very much of those mac-os-10.4 Klients
- so it's not a real problem for us - but I wonder
how to solve the Backup of lets say 200 MacLabtops ... a new tsm-db ?

Regards - and thanks in advance !
Rainer
