I prefer to exclude it from the DOMAIN. That way you won't get the
directories on the C: drive. This is from the help.
For example, in the following options Tivoli Storage Manager will
process all local drives except for the c: drive, systemobject,
and systemstate domain:
domain ALL-LOCAL -c: -systemobject
domain ALL-LOCAL -c: -systemstate

Well, there's a problem there:
Our ART product has found several customers that shot themselves in
the foot by doing this:
DOMAIN D:
because they don't want to back up C:, a stock image of windows-and-
office.
That works fine. But months later, the user adds drive E:, and TSM
silently skips it.
Better to use exclude of C:, IMHO
