emaining include-exclude list from the bottom up and stops when it finds aninclude or exclude statement that matches the file it is processing. The order inwhich the include and exclude options are entered therefore affects which files areincluded and excluded.To display a list of all include-exclude statements in effect on your clientworkstation in the actual order they are processed, use the query inclexclcommand.The client program processes the list of include-exclude statements according tothe following rules:1. Files are checked; directories are only checked if the exclude.dir option isspecified.2. File names are compared to the patterns in the include-exclude list from thebottom up. When a match is found, the processing stops and checks whetherthe option is include or exclude. If the option is include, the file is backed up. Ifthe option is exclude, the file is not backed up.Note:3. If a match is not found, files are implicitly included and backed up.4. When a file is backed up, it is bound to the default management class unless itmatched an include statement that specified a different management classname, in which case the file is bound to that management class.The following examples demonstrate bottom up processing.Example 1Assume that La Pomme is not the startup disk.EXCLUDE /.../*.cppINCLUDE "/Volumes/La Pomme/Foo/.../*.cpp"EXCLUDE "/Volumes/La Pomme/Foo/Junk/*.cpp"The file being processed is: /Volumes/La Pomme/Foo/Dev/test.cpp.Processing follows these steps:1. Rule 3 (the last include or exclude statement defined) is checked firstbecause of bottom-up processing. The pattern /Volumes/LaPomme/Foo/Junk/*.cpp does not match the file name that is beingprocessed.2. Processing moves to Rule 2 and checks. This time, pattern /Volumes/LaPomme/Foo/.../*.cpp matches the file name that is being processed.Processing stops, the option is checked, and it is include.3. File /Volumes/La Pomme/Foo/Dev/test.cpp is backed up.Example 2Assume that La Pomme is not the startup disk.EXCLUDE /.../*.cppINCLUDE "/Volumes/La Pomme/Foo/.../*.cpp"EXCLUDE "/Volumes/La Pomme/Foo/Junk/*.cpp"The file being processed is: /Volumes/La Pomme/Widget/Sample File.Processing follows these steps:1. Rule 3 is checked and finds no match.2. Rule 2 is checked and finds no match.3. Rule 1 is checked and finds no match.90 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive Clients Version 6.1: Installation and User’s Guide
