Here is what that command gives me. dsmc q inclexcl ANS1138E The 'QUERY' command must be followed by a subcommand -----Original Message----- From: Kai Hintze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 1:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Exclude options
Hmmm..., I pulled exclude.fs out of the documentation, but it was 4.2 doco, so I would have thought it would work. Do you have anything in you dsmerror.log about the excludes? What does "dsmc q inclexcl" tell you? "exclude /.../u01/.../*" will certainly avoid backing up the files under /u01, but it will still examine each file in the file system to see if it should be backed up. The trees I want to avoid generally are structured /db /db/database1 /db/database1/d01 /db/database1/d02 /db/database1/d03 /db/database2 /db/database2/d01 /db/database2/d02 /db/database2/d03 where each d0? is a separate file system, and new branches can be added without warning. That being the case I generally "exclude.dir /db". That way I get notices for each file system that it is excluded but the client doesn't spend lots of time traversing the trees. And I don't get burned if someone adds another filesystem to the tree and forgets to tell me. Luck! - Kai. The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.
