Greetings All:

When a backup TSM agent is loaded on a backup client, we can see the results of 
an incremental backup in a log file that is stored on the client (i.e. 
dsmsched.log).

When we run a VCB incremental from the proxy server, there doesn't appear to be 
any log on the client of the files backed up (i.e. no dsmsched.log and no other 
pertinent log file that I can see).  There also does not appear to be any log 
on the proxy server of the VCB incremental files being backed on the clients.

How can we determine what is being backed up when VCB incrementals are run from 
the proxy server? We would like to determine if we need to exclude certain 
files/directories from being backed up.  Do we have to resort to using Windows 
Explorer on the VM to see what is there?  My supervisor does not like that as 
an answer and is thinking we are possibly missing a simpler solution.

Any ideas on what we have possibly overlooked would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
