Hi, I suggest you make the following changes:
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE SCHEDLOGNAME /var/log/tsm/schedule.log Schedlogretention 30 d ERRORLOGNAME /var/log/tsm/error.log Errorlogretention 30 d DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL EXCLUDE.DIR /proc EXCLUDE.DIR /sys EXCLUDE.DIR /dev EXCLUDE.DIR /tmp EXCLUDE /var/log/tsm/schedule.log EXCLUDE /var/log/tsm/error.log By default, the /var must should be saved and only the tsm logs will be excluded (+ exclude.dir) If many files are open, I encourage you to use a management class in dynamic mode. INCLUDE.DIR /var MGMTCLASS Best regards, Yann MEUNIER -----Message d'origine----- De : ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] De la part de Jens Bürger Envoyé : mercredi 27 mars 2013 09:49 À : ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Objet : [ADSM-L] Exclude excludes too much Hello everyone, what I am trying to do is a rather simple task - I thought. I just want to backup a whole Linux-system with TSM. So I want to exclude all system-specific dirs and the TSM logs (because otherwise there will be an error because TSM writes to the files while backing them up) from my (incremental) backup, but I especially want to INCLUDE the rest of /var/... My problem is: I tried a bunch of options and combinations, but no matter what I set, TSM completely ignores /var then (and yes, I do not forget to restart dsmc schedule after changing the option-file). So these are the respective lines of my dsm.sys: EXCLUDE.DIR /proc EXCLUDE.DIR /sys EXCLUDE.DIR /dev EXCLUDE.DIR /tmp EXCLUDE /var/log/tsm/schedule.log EXCLUDE /var/log/tsm/error.log INCLUDE /var/ PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE SCHEDLOGNAME /var/log/tsm/schedule.log schedlogretention 30 d ERRORLOGNAME /var/log/tsm/error.log errorlogretention 30 d Any help appreciated...
