Backup Central

Hi to all



Please help me I tried to exclude files or directories on a Linux Client version 5.5.03 without any success and it makes me crazy.



I want to backup "/" and "/boot"



Under "/" I have several directories as "/var/tmp" or "/var/log" or "/tmp" I don't want to backup



In the dsm.opt I add this line: domain ALL-LOCAL



In the dsm.sys I add this line: inclexcl /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/cciprnt.excl



On the file cciprnt.excl I tried several options as exclude.dir and more … but always I saw the files on "/tmp" or "/var/tmp"



One example of this file:



exclude.dir "/var/tmp"

exclude.dir "/var/log"

exclude.dir "/tmp"

exclude.dir "/root/Archive"



include "/.../*"

include "/boot/.../*"

Robert Ouzen

Hi Robert,
You know that TSM reads the include and exclude from the bottom and up.
Plus that exclude.dir doesn't work in UNIX/Linux. (Don't know if they finally have include that to 5.5 client) but you should type like

Exclude /var/tmp/*

To exclude all data in /var/tmp

Hope this helping you.

As I frequently advise, do 'dsmc q inclexcl' rather than inspecting
client options files: have TSM report to you what *it* believes your
Include-Exclude list to be, which will also pull in any server-side
specs.

exclude.dir most certainly does work with linux/unix.

But,

what I would do is do a 'dsmc q inclexcl' so you know what is and isn't
picked up by the client. Your rules seem to be fine. What exactly is the
client not doing or doing that is not up to your expectations?



Exclude /var/tmp/*

To exclude all data in /var/tmp

Hi Richard and others

I left only the /var/tmp/.../* on the inclexcl file to test , I do a q inclexcl as Richard suggest but I still see the files under /var/tmp ???


tsm> q inclexcl
*** FILE INCLUDE/EXCLUDE ***
Mode Function Pattern (match from top down) Source File
---- --------- ------------------------------ -----------------
No exclude filespace statements defined.
Excl Directory /.../.TsmCacheDir TSM
Exclude All /var/tmp/.../* "/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/cciprnt2.excl"
No DFS include/exclude statements defined.

It has always worked, from all my experience and observations. And
I've seen no problem reports. Please cite APARs, alerts, or
advisories which support the claim that it doesn't work, rather than
putting a blanket statement out there like that to the user community.

Hi to all

Eureka !!!! I just needed to kill the dsmcad , to load it back and I got what I need. ( I was loading the backup/restore from a browser)

I exclude those directories with exclude.dir /var/tmp and it worked fine.

Thanks to all

Robert
