I think you want EXCLUDE.Dir /.../.snapshot
Study Include/Exclude doc in the client manual, as it's vital to fully understand and master their intricacies. TSM Include/Exclude specs are generic in their formulation, and should not be confused with the wildcard specs of any given operating system, though they may look similar.
If you happen to have any Windows clients, and they employ Journal-based backups, a further complication is that this regimen employs its own exclusion discipline, separate from the normal B/A client regimen.

hi all,
I would like to know exactly ... what I should type if I want to exclude any directory that is named ".snapshot" and all the files in it of course for example I have these directory and filesystems (Unix system)
/apps/.snapshot/ /.snapshot/ /local/apps/.snapshot/ /local/long/short/down/.snapshot/
so I want to exclude all the directories and files that is in the .snapshot directory. can I do it using
exclude.fs /.../.snapshot/.../* <---- will this work for all subdirectories ?
or
exclude.dir /*/*/.snapshot/.../* <---- will this only go down to 2 level of subdirectory ?
I really need to know how to exclude this directory ... as long as TSM sees it's .snapshot it will skip that directory .. and exclude it from the backup ... !
