The most straightforward way to exclude a filesystem/drive is not do
have it participate in Domain statements.
Use Exclude statements for files or directories, where basic
exclusion inherently causes inactivation of those Active files on the
server, and begins the age-out process, per prevailing retention
policies. Modern clients also provide Expire and Delete Backup
commands to hasten the process.
Obsolete filespaces are removed via 'dsmc delete filespace' from the
client, or Delete Filespace ... from the server. Always be
absolutely certain that supposedly obsolete filespaces really are.
