If you do not specify adirectory path with the file name in the schedlogname option, the dsmsched.logwill reside in the current working directory, except for Mac OS X. For Mac OS X,the dsmsched.log will reside in the /Library/Logs/tivoli/tsm/ directory.Important: To prevent log write failures and process termination in certain cases,set the DSM_LOG environment variable to name a directory where defaultpermissions allow the required access.Related information“Sessioninitiation” on page 394SelectiveThe selective command backs up files that you specify. If these files becomedamaged or lost, you can replace them with backup versions from the server.When you run a selective backup, all the files are candidates for backup unlessyou exclude them from backup, or they do not meet management classrequirements for serialization.During a selective backup, copies of the files are sent to the server even if they didnot change since the last backup. This might result in more than one copy of thesame file on the server. If this occurs, you might not have as many differentdown-level versions of the file on the server as you intended. Your version limitmight consist of identical files. To avoid this, use the incremental command toback up only new and changed files.522 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive Clients Version 6.1: Installation and User’s Guide
