Hi Robert, You know that TSM reads the include and exclude from the bottom and up. Plus that exclude.dir doesn't work in UNIX/Linux. (Don't know if they finally have include that to 5.5 client) but you should type like
Exclude /var/tmp/* To exclude all data in /var/tmp Hope this helping you.

I want to backup "/" and "/boot" Under "/" I have several directories as "/var/tmp" or "/var/log" or "/tmp" I don't want to backup In the dsm.opt I add this line: domain ALL-LOCAL In the dsm.sys I add this line: inclexcl /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/cciprnt.excl On the file cciprnt.excl I tried several options as exclude.dir and more ... but always I saw the files on "/tmp" or "/var/tmp" One example of this file: exclude.dir "/var/tmp" exclude.dir "/var/log" exclude.dir "/tmp" exclude.dir "/root/Archive" include "/.../*" include "/boot/.../*" Regards Robert Ouzen
