I agree with Andy don't change include/exludes between backups of the same system!
Use TSM 'archive' function to get the data once per week to the TSM server instead of TSM 'backup' exclude's are ignored by the TSM archive function (unless you are using exclude.archive) Matt G.

I also want the nightly backups to keep excluding those DBF files. Can I do this within one include exclude file? Do I need a second include exclude file, and how go about doing that? -Bill Goliak NSIT-SEA Unix Systems Adminstrator Office: 773 702 9425 Pager: 773 652 0744
