dirmc | Specifies the management class to use for directories. If not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager uses the management class with the longest retention period. | Dirmc |
domain | Specifies the drives to include in your default client domain for an incremental backup. | Domain |
domain.image | Specifies the file systems you want to include in your default client domain for an image backup. This option is for Windows 2000 only. | Domain.image |
domain.nas | Specifies the volumes to include in your default domain for nas backups. This option is for Windows NT, 2000, XP clients only. | Domain.nas |
enablelanfree | Specifies whether to enable an available LAN-Free path to a storage area network (SAN) attached storage device. | Enablelanfree |
enableserverfree | Specifies whether to enable SAN-based server-free image backup which off-loads data movement processing from the client and server processor and from the LAN during backup operations. This option is for the Windows 2000 client only. This options is for Windows 2000 only. | Enableserverfree |
exclude exclude.backup exclude.file exclude.file.backup | These options are equivalent. Use these options to exclude a file or group of files from backup services. | Exclude Options |
exclude.archive | Excludes a file or group of files from archive services. | Exclude Options |
exclude.compression | Excludes files from compression processing if compression=yes is specified. This option applies to backups and archives. | Exclude Options |
exclude.dir | Excludes the directory you specify, its files, and all its subdirectories and their files from backup processing. | Exclude Options |
exclude.encrypt | Excludes specified files from encryption processing. | Exclude Options |
exclude.fs.nas | Excludes file systems on the NAS file server from an image backup when used with the backup nas command. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the file system identified applies to all NAS file servers. The backup nas command ignores all other exclude statements including exclude.dir statements. This option is for Windows NT, 2000, XP clients only. | Exclude Options |
exclude.image | Excludes mounted file systems and raw logical volumes that match the pattern from image processing. This option is valid for Windows 2000 only. | Exclude Options |
exclude.subfile | Excludes files from adaptive subfile backup processing. This option does not apply to archive processing. This option is valid for all Windows clients. | Exclude Options |
guitreeviewafterbackup | Specifies whether the client is returned to the Backup, Restore, Archive, or Retrieve window after a successful operation completes. | Guitreeviewafterbackup |
imagegapsize | Specifies the minimum size of empty regions on a volume that you want to skip during backup. This option is valid for the Windows 2000 client only. | Imagegapsize |
inclexcl | Specifies the path and file name of an include-exclude options file. | Inclexcl |
include include.backup include.file | These options are equivalent. Use these options to include files or assign management classes for backup processing. | Include Options |
include.archive | Includes files or assigns management classes for archive processing. | Include Options |
include.compression | Includes files for compression processing if you specify compression=yes. This option applies to backups and archives. | Include Options |
include.encrypt | Includes specified files for encryption processing. | Include Options |
include.fs.nas | Assigns a management class when used with the backup nas command. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the file system identified applies to all NAS file servers. The backup nas command ignores all other include statements. This option is for Windows NT, 2000, XP clients only. | Include Options |
include.image | Includes a file space or logical volume or assigns a management class when used with the backup image command. The backup image command ignores all other include options. This option is valid for Windows 2000 only. | Include Options |
include.subfile | Includes files for adaptive subfile backup processing. This option does not apply to archive processing. This option is valid for all Windows clients. | Include Options |
include.systemobject | Assigns management classes for backup of Windows 2000 and Windows XP system objects. By default, Tivoli Storage Manager binds all system objects to the default management class. You cannot use this option to bind individual systemobject components to a different management class. You cannot use this option to include or exclude a system object from processing. This option is valid for Windows 2000 and WIndows XP clients only. | Include Options |
incrthreshold | The incrthreshold option specifies the threshold value for the number of directories in any journaled file space that might have active objects on the server, but no equivalent object on the workstation. | Incrthreshold |
memoryefficientbackup | Specifies a memory-saving backup algorithm for incremental backups when used with the incremental command. | Memoryefficientbackup |
postsnapshotcmd | During an online image backup, this option allows you to manually bring up an application after the LVSA starts a snapshot during an online image backup. This option is only valid if the LVSA is installed and configured on your system allowing you to perform an online image backup. This option is for the Windows 2000 client only. | Postsnapshotcmd |
presnapshotcmd | During an online image backup, this option allows you to manually quiesce an application before the LVSA starts a snapshot during an online image backup.

snapshotcachesize | Use the snapshotcachesize option with the backup image command, the include.image option, or in your dsm.opt file to specify the maximum size of the OBF file (Old Block File), in which changes made to a volume by other system applications are saved during an online image backup. This option is valid for Windows 2000 client only. | Snapshotcachesize |
snapshotfsidleretries | Use the snapshotfsidleretries option with the backup image command or the include.image option when performing an online image backup to specify the number of additional times the LVSA should try to achieve the Snapshot FS Idle Wait time before the online image backup operation fails.
