This is an optional task but an important one. If you do not create an include-exclude list, Tivoli Storage Manager considers all files for backup services and uses the default management class for backup and archive services.
You can create an include-exclude list to exclude a specific file or groups of files from backup services, and to assign specific management classes to files. Tivoli Storage Manager backs up any file that is not explicitly excluded. You should exclude Tivoli Storage Manager client folders from backup services.
Specify your include-exclude list in your TSM System Preferences file. If you define more than one server in your TSM System Preferences file, each server must have its own include-exclude list.
You can use one of the following methods to create an include-exclude list or specify an include-exclude file:
You can also create an include-exclude list by performing the following steps:
include "La Pomme:Documents:includefile.cpp" exclude "La Pomme:Documents:...:*"
However, in the following include-exclude list the includefile.cpp file is backed up:
exclude "La Pomme:Documents:...:*" include "La Pomme:Documents:includefile.cpp"
