Hello all, TSM Server: 4.2.2 Clients: 4.2.X
Scenario: We are trying out a new SLA and want to test weekly full backups including system state objects. Our current backups are all incremental and we have excluded some application data (Program Files, Documents and Settings...), thus a weekly full would need to override the options file. Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Wu, Jialin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 9:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Overriding Options File Create a new option file that has your new include/exclude list. In your scripted backup, specify the new opt file by adding -optfile=xxx at the end your backup command.

But it is not normally done as alternating excluding and then not excluding files can play havoc with your retention policys. Can you tell the list group, what leads to your question? Maybe there is another method of doing what you wish. If not, another method might be to define two nodes for your server. Backup the data normally excluded on node1 using node2. len ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
