Problem with exclude

[TSch]

Hi folks,

I got a problem with excluding certain files and directories from my TSM backup.

I have a job directory containing job logs as well as job definitions. Let's say the main directory is called

/system/work/

Here we have the job definitions lying directly under

/system/work/

as regular files.

For the job logs there's a subdirectory being created named after the job id. A few days after job completion the subdirectories are being deleted. So there's a constantly changing subdirectory structure within

/system/work/


Example:

/system/work/1283/job.log
/system/work/1284/job.log
/system/work/1285/job.log
/system/work/definition1.cmd
/system/work/definition2.cmd

Now what I'd like is to exclude the subdirectories and include the job definitions (Note: These can change as well !) but I don't know how because the subdirectories keep changing and if I exclude the whole /systen/work/ I won't get the job definitions backed up and those I can't include explicit because they too keep changing ...

Any ideas ?

Regards,
Thomas

why not take the other approach and just add an include for the definitions?

include /system/work/.../*.cmd
include /system/work/.../*.cmd
exclude /system/work/*

Y'know.. something like that...

Oh... Just to add to above.. the "..." should take care of the subdirectories changing.

FYI: When there are any changes made need to stop/restart the schedule daemon/service so that the new updates in the dsm.opt (Windows) / dsm.sys (Unix) are read.

Good Luck,
