In the following example Z: is a mapped drive to a remote file system onvista.sanjose.ibm.com.The old format would be to exclude \dir\dir2 on the remote file system, as in thisexample:EXCLUDE.DIR "Z:\dir1\dir2"Here is an example of the new format using UNC:EXCLUDE.DIR "\\vista.sanjose.ibm.com\d$\dir1\dir2"The include-exclude statements written in the old format will not be recognized byTivoli Storage Manager.Exclude files and directories from a journal-based backupThere are two methods of excluding files and directories from a journal-basedbackup.One method is to add exclude statements to the client options file to prevent thefiles or directories from being backed up during backup processing. The othermethod is to add exclude statements to the journal configuration file tsmjbbd.ini,to prevent journal entries from being added for the files or directories, whichprevents them from being processed during a journal-based backup.Note: There is no correlation between the two exclude statements. It is preferableto place exclude statements in tsmjbbd.ini to prevent them from entering thejournal database and being processed during a journal-based backup.Control processing with exclude statementsAfter Tivoli Storage Manager evaluates all exclude statements, the followingoptions are evaluated against the remaining list of objects available for processing.Table 12 lists the options that you can use to control processing with include andexclude statements.Table 12.

Use these options to excludea file or group of files from backup services and spacemanagement services (if the HSM client is installed).The exclude.backup option only excludes files fromnormal backup, but not from HSM.Use these options to include files or assignmanagement classes for backup processing.Use this option to set options on a file space-by-filespace basis.Archive processing“Excludeoptions”on page366“Includeoptions”on page395“Includeoptions”on page395Chapter 2.
