Backup Central

Tsm client 6.3 on RHEL 5.6
Server 5.5.4 on suse sles 9

Below is the output from a q inclexcl

Then the entry from dsmerror.log.

I believe I have the exclude syntax correct to exclude all .log files under /u01/oradata, however, it still tries to back them up.

What's up here?

Gary - Might this be a case where the backups are being run by a 'dsmc schedule' (rather than CAD) and the exclusions were added to the inclexcl.list file during the life of that scheduler process: if so, the process needs to be restarted to reabsorb all its governing parameters.
