File exclusions

[konopj]

I am fairly new to TSM and and trying to find a way to exclude soem files from the daily backup so they do not show up in missed fiels on the reporting. These are the NTUSER files that are opened/running when the an account is active...

Hi there, add lines like this to the end of the dsm.opt file located generally in
c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\client\ba\bin

EXCLUDE c:\winnt\system32\config\default.LOG
EXCLUDE c:\winnt\system32\config\SAM.LOG
EXCLUDE c:\winnt\system32\config\SECURITY.LOG
EXCLUDE c:\winnt\system32\config\software.LOG

I guess I need not point out to add the path of the file you want as mine were just an example (but I would exclude those too)

exclude *:\...\ntuser.dat.LOG

exclude *:\...\UsrClass.dat.LOG

Yeah that works too.. You can also do it through the client GUI as well... edit/preferences incl/excl tab.. very simple if you are newer to it...

 

[konopj]

Ah, I just found it in the GUI. Thanks, you can just right click on the file and choose exclude. I had never really even used the gui before just the administrative console and ISC. Thanks!
