-Doug- In your mgmtclass pstfiles, what is SERialization set to (Dynamic)? Seems to me that most of those files would be skipped by the server anyway because they will be considered as open if the user forgot to close down Microsoft Outlook? Realize that this can create fuzzy copies (not accurate) when you try to restore it because it will not be usable depending on the application.
Also, have you tried: ?:\...\*.pst pstfiles Regards, Demetrius Malbrough UNIX/TSM Administrator -----Original Message----- From: James, Doug [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Question regarding including an excluded type of file. We are also opening an issue Tivoli, but we seem to get faster and better results from our comrades on the list server. This is our problem: We are drowning in pst files, which are "changed" each time an individual opens his e-mail. We have made a corporate decision to back these up once each weekend, and exclude them the rest of the week. These are the steps that we have taken: 1. On each NT server, we have excluded all files that end in "pst." Exclude *:\...\*.pst 2. I created a new management class through the web interface, called "pstfiles," with versions data deleted set to 4, and retain extra versions set for 90 days. Even though the excluded files would normally be deleted, this management class will keep 4 sets inactive. 3. I created two new schedules, one to run on Friday evening and one Saturday evening, figuring that one will successfully back up the pst files. THE PROBLEM is that I cannot successfully code the include statement on the schedule through the web interface. My intent is to Include *:\...\*.pst pstfiles . This should override the exclude statement in the dsm.opt file, backup the pst files and associate them with the management class pstfiles. On the Object line of the web interface, I have tried variations of the following commands: Include *:\...\*.pst pstfiles The word "include" was not needed. *:\...\*.pst pstfiles TSM attempted to backup pst files, and a separate filesystem pstfiles. '*:\...\*.pst pstfiles' TSM failed to associate pst files with the management class. "'*:\...\*.pst pstfiles'" The double quotes were replaced with a square, I presume because TSM did not recognize the symbol. Does anyone have a recommendation as to how to best handle this?
