Here is a possibility: Create a TSM client macro (plain text file) named, say, C:\BACKUP.MAC. The contents of this file would be:
BACKUP REGISTRY INCREMENTAL D: E: (The second line is an example of how you would back up other drives, although you could omit them if all you want is the registry.) Next, create a schedule like this: DEF SCH STANDARD BACKREG ACTION=MACRO OBJECTS="C:\BACKUP.MAC" DEF ASSOC STANDARD BACKREG BURAK This is just an example, substitute your own domain, schedule, file, and node names as appropriate. If you don't want to use the TSM scheduler, you can launch the macro manually or via 3rd-party scheduler like this: DSMC MACRO C:\BACKUP.MAC Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

I mean: Even if I had exclude c:\...\* in option file, all the file system structure (names of folders) are sent to TSM and saved to TSM database. This does not mean that it backs-up the files but it consumes TSM database with C:\Program Files\Common Files\... kind of folders.

Including anything would mean adding exclude.dir commands to exclude the directory structures from backup. Please advise if this solves the problem.
