Thanks Keith:
The manual I was looking at was for windows which doesn't mention anything
about HSM of course so basically it had the same description for all
options.
It would make sense to me if the exclude option would exclude files from all
services (backup, archive, space management) instead of just some of them
(backup and space management). Then you could use the specific excludes for
the other services if you only wanted files excluded from them
(exclude.backup, exclude.archive, exclude.spacemgnt).

For both backup and archive operations? No. Not to the best of my
knowlege.

exclude : Excludes a file or group of files from backup services and
space management services (if theTSM HSM client is
installed). Any file in your client domain that is not
specifically excluded with this option is considered for
backup.
exclude.backup :
Excludes a file or a group of files from normal backup
services, but not from HSM.
exclude.file.backup:
Excludes a file from normal backup services.
Hope this is helpfull.
