Exclude Rules Preventing Some Files From Being Backed Up - IBM E16RMLL-I - Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Manual

11.1.1 Exclude rules preventing some files from being backed up

Suppose there are two files in a directory c:\tsm, myfile.doc and myfile. We
configure an exclude rule to avoid some of the files, as shown in Example 11-1.
Example 11-1 Include/exclude settings in dsm.opt
..
exclude c:\...\*
include c:\TS\*.*
...
The DSMC INCR command will never back up the file c:\tsm\myfile because it is
not caught by the INCLUDE statement and therefore is excluded under the
EXCLUDE rule. It does not matter if you use double wildcard (*.*) or single
wildcard (*) on the INCR command. Example 11-2 shows that the file myfile is
excluded, but myfile.doc is included. Look at the objects inspected and the
objects backed up statistics.
Example 11-2 Windows incremental backup using double wildcard (*.*) search string
