options file to support your requirements. Respective client options are
DATEFORMAT, NUMBERFORMAT, and TIMEFORMAT.
Include-exclude options
The include-exclude options are written into the client user options file dsm.opt
on non-UNIX platforms. On UNIX/Linux, include-exclude options are either
written into the client system options file (dsm.sys)or in a separate file, called the
include-exclude file. If you use a separate include-exclude file, rather than
including the statements directly, use the option INCLEXCL in the client system
options file dsm.sys to indicate the name and location of the include-exclude file:
INCLEXCL /tsm/server1/inclexcl.file
Having determined where to put the include-exclude options, here is how to
specify them. The two statements INCLUDE and EXCLUDE are used.
The INCLUDE option specifies files to include for backup services. Also use this
option to assign a management class either to specific files or to all files to which
you have not already assigned a specific management class, and for which you
do not want Tivoli Storage Manager to use the default management class.
The EXCLUDE option excludes files from backup or archive services. When you
back up files, any files you exclude are not considered for backup. For example,
we recommend excluding the Tivoli Storage Manager installation directory.
Further, a combination of exclude and include rules may be used to enforce
compression or encryption on certain subsets of files.
Include-exclude options are checked from the bottom up to the top of the list until
a match is found. If so, the processing stops and checks whether the option is
INCLUDE or EXCLUDE. If the option is INCLUDE, the file is backed up using the
assigned management class. If the option is EXCLUDE, the file is not backed up.
Any file that does not match any of the rules is automatically included for backup
and is bound to the default management class.
Tip: If your workstation is memory constrained, specify the option
MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP Yes in your client options file. Specifying Yes
reduces memory consumption but increases backup time.
You can also use the RESOURCEUTILIZATION option to increase the
number of parallel sessions initiated to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. By
default, a client uses two sessions: one session to query the server and one to
send file data. For example, a RESOURCEUTILIZATION 10 setting permits
up to eight sessions with the server, which may result in faster backup as
multiple file spaces are backed up in parallel.
