Hello, i found also that strange things. My solution was (and I tested it) to put this statement in the dsm.opt file inclexcl FILENAME And then put the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE Statements in that separate file. In this case, the dsm.opt and the inclexcl-file was unchanged. But I think this is a bug and should be solved by an apar.

It specifically happened to me when using it to configure the web client, but may happen with the other configurations as well. It does not happen if you use the dsmcutil command. It's easy to replicate, just make a backup copy of your options file, run the wizard, view the original options file again. =========================================== John Monahan Network Administrator Liberty Diversified Industries (763) 536-6677 =========================================== Gunnar Uhr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: cc: "ADSM: Dist Subject: Include/Exclude-section disappears (?!) on TSM 4.11 Stor Manager" Client..... <[EMAIL PROTECTED] RIST.EDU> 11/24/00 08:03 AM Please respond to guhr Hello I have only installed TSM-client 4.11 on a few of my NT4.0 Servers yet. I have got a Quite strange phenomena. After a while some OPT-files on the clients have got all(!) of the Include- and Exclude- statements I have had there earlier totaly erased. Have it perhaps something to do with the using of the "Backup-client-GUI" on the nodes ? (The TSM server I'm backing them up to is on AIX and at the moment ver 3.7) Any hints ? I Am by the way (tomorrow) upgrading from ADSM ver 3.?? to TSM ver 4.11 on a (two) Microsoft Cluster server (NT4.0) with MsSQL servers (7.0) on them. Are there anyone of You that has any experience of that ?
