Howard (LOL) thanks! Yes, That's exactly what I did I thought I sent a email earlier (sorry) although the only thing I did with the dsm.sys file was to take out the include below which I was going to try.
Include /.../*.DBF Do I really need to put >> include /db_backup/PRODBKUP/datafiles/*.dbf in the dsm.sys even though I removed those .dbf and ctl entries in the New Client Option set? Or is that just to be sure it backs up *.dbf files? I could do that I guess it wouldn't hurt.

It would be a one off, but that would work. Then you could put the exclude /.../*.dbf include /db_backup/PRODBKUP/datafiles/*.dbf Type entries in the dsm.sys file or in a inclexcl.list file as we do. Just remember TSM reads the list from the bottom up.

I removed those excludes from the dsm.sys, I think that will work for the time being until I can find a way to update the option set to value No and get the correct syntax working. regards -----Original Message----- From: Hughes, Timothy Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 12:07 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: RE: Solaris Include/exclude .dbf question Howard Thanks! Now I need to find out how to check and possible set the option for override to "off" if that is possible to do on that specific client node only. I think I need to update the option values to >>> Use Option Set Value (FORCE): No If it is yes Or I can simply remove *.CTL, *.ctl, *.DBF, and *.dbf from our system client option set however that would remove those excludes from ALL the Solaris clients, Not just the one client I am working on. I put this in the dsm.sys file >>> include /.../*.dbf I think that's correct? I think that may be more than what I need for just the following director /db_backup/PRODBKUP/datafiles. best regards -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Howard Coles Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 11:43 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Solaris Include/exclude .dbf question They can if the client option set entries don't have the option for allow override set to no.

Include All /.../*.DBF Include All /.../*.CTL Or if I just wanted to include in that specific directory would it be Include /db_backup/PRODBKUP/datafiles/*.dbf Or Include /db_backup/PRODBKUP/datafiles/*.../*.dbf Also here is a example of one of the files (akd01.dbf) Thanks
