Re: [ADSM-L] Exclude excludes too much

Hi,

I suggest you make the following changes:

PASSWORDACCESS  GENERATE
SCHEDLOGNAME    /var/log/tsm/schedule.log
Schedlogretention       30 d
ERRORLOGNAME    /var/log/tsm/error.log
Errorlogretention       30 d

DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL

EXCLUDE.DIR             /proc
EXCLUDE.DIR             /sys
EXCLUDE.DIR             /dev
EXCLUDE.DIR             /tmp
EXCLUDE         /var/log/tsm/schedule.log
EXCLUDE         /var/log/tsm/error.log

By default, the /var must should be saved and only the tsm logs will be 
excluded (+ exclude.dir)
If many files are open, I encourage you to use a management class in dynamic 
mode.

INCLUDE.DIR /var MGMTCLASS

Best regards,

Yann MEUNIER

Objet : [ADSM-L] Exclude excludes too much

Hello everyone,

what I am trying to do is a rather simple task - I thought.

I just want to backup a whole Linux-system with TSM.

So I want to exclude all system-specific dirs and the TSM logs  (because 
otherwise there will be an error because TSM writes to the files while backing 
them up) from my (incremental) backup, but I especially want to INCLUDE the 
rest of /var/...

My problem is: I tried a bunch of options and combinations, but no matter what 
I set, TSM completely ignores /var then (and yes, I do not forget to restart 
dsmc schedule after changing the option-file).

So these are the respective lines of my dsm.sys:


EXCLUDE.DIR     /proc
EXCLUDE.DIR     /sys
EXCLUDE.DIR     /dev
EXCLUDE.DIR     /tmp
EXCLUDE /var/log/tsm/schedule.log
EXCLUDE /var/log/tsm/error.log
INCLUDE /var/
PASSWORDACCESS  GENERATE
SCHEDLOGNAME            /var/log/tsm/schedule.log
schedlogretention  30 d
ERRORLOGNAME            /var/log/tsm/error.log
errorlogretention  30 d

Any help appreciated...
