JournalDirSpecifies the directory where journal database files are stored and written.The default directory is the journal service installation directory. You canspecify different journal locations for each file system being journaled. Thisis useful when running in a clustered environment because the location ofthe journal must be accessible by each workstation in the cluster runningthe journal service. Typically the journal for local resources being journaledresides in the same location and the journal for shared cluster resources(which can move from workstation to workstation) is located on the sharedresource to ensure that it is accessible to both workstations.By default, this setting applies to all journaled file systems but can beoverridden by an override stanza for each journal file system. If the defaultvalue is a fully qualified path (for example c:\tsmjournal), all journaldatabase files are written to the specified directory. If the default valuedoes not specify a drive letter, (for example \tsmjournal) the journaldatabase files for each journal file system are written to the specifieddirectory on each journal file system.The following is an example configuration stanza:[JournalSettings];; Store all resources in one location unless overridden; by an override stanza;JournalDir=c:\tsmjournal;;[JournaledFileSystemSettings.D:\];; Journal for d: only is in location specified below;JournalDir=d:\tsmjournalNote: Changes to this setting do not take effect until the journaled filesystems are brought online.JournalExcludeList stanzaThis list of exclude statements filters changes from being recorded in the journaldatabase. Changes to objects which match statements in this stanza are ignoredand are not recorded in the journal database.Note:1. Excluding files from the journal has no bearing on those files being excludedby the backup client, other than preventing the files from being sent to thebackup client to be processed during journal-based backup. A file that is notexcluded from the journal should still be excluded by the backup-archive client,if there is a matching exclude statement in the client options file.2. The journal service only provides a subset of the INCLUDE/EXCLUDEfunction provided by the backup-archive client. The journal service does notsupport INCLUDE statements and it does not support the exclude.dir option.There is no correlation between the journal exclude list and the backup-archiveclient exclude list.The following are examples of equivalent journal exclude statements:34 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients: Installation and User's Guide
