Hi Geoff, In sum, my recommendation is that you try it and see! :-)
Note that you can review the effects of include and exclude statements in at least a couple of ways: 1) The backup-archive command line client PREVIEW function 2) The backup-archive GUI which will visually indicate which files are excluded.as you navigate the the directory tree structure If you do not want to do this with a live node name, then register a test node name, and use that to connect to the TSM server.

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
