Include-exclude rules
If you put include-exclude statements in the client options set, these will always
override the include-exclude statements in the client options file. You can
imagine that the client options set include-exclude statements are added at the
bottom of the client options file, so that they are evaluated first. The sequence
number attached to each include-exclude statement in the client option set
determines the order in which it is added to the existing include-exclude
statements at the end of the client options file. Include-exclude statements in a
client option set will always be seen and processed during backup first, before
any statements in the client options file. Therefore, one set of default values can
be defined for each type of client in a client option set, yet the client machines
can still be customized, within acceptable limits.
For example, suppose you have the following statements in a client option set:
include c:\test\* seq=1
exclude c:\working\* seq=2
And, suppose you have the following statements in a client options file:
exclude c:\test\*
include c:\working\*
The complete set of include-exclude specifications would be:
exclude c:\test\*
include c:\working\*
include c:\test\*
exclude c:\working\*
Reminder: Include-exclude statements are processed from bottom to top.
Processing using this set of include-exclude statements would result in the files
under C:\working not being backed up, and those files under C:\test being
backed up.
8.3.2 Default environment
There are no client option sets created by default in a Tivoli Storage Manager
environment.
8.3.3 Recommended client option sets
In our environment, we use multiple client option sets. All option sets are built
from the base option set, which we called "redbook". This option set contains
options other than the include-exclude specifications. All other option sets are
(second to last statement from the client options file)
(last statement from the client options file)
(sequence number 1 from the client option set)
(sequence number 2 from the client option set)
