Table 12. Options for controlling processing using include and excludestatements (continued)Option Description Pageexclude.systemobjectinclude.systemobjectExcludes individual system objects from backupservices. Excluded system object types that you backedup previously are not expired during subsequentbackups. This option only excludes the system objecttypes that you specify from subsequent backups. Thisoption is valid for Windows XP clients only.Assigns management classes for backup of Windowssystem objects. By default, Tivoli Storage Managerbinds all system objects to the default managementclass. You cannot use this option to bind individualsystem object components to a different managementclass. You cannot use this option to include or excludea system object from processing. This option is validfor Windows XP only.Note: Other include-exclude statements do not affectsystem object processing. It is unnecessary to explicitlyinclude the registry staging directory includec:\adsm.sys\...\* for backup, to ensure that theregistry is backed up properly. If you accidentallyexclude a directory that is critical to a system objectbackup, the system object backup is not affected.“Excludeoptions”on page366“Includeoptions”on page395System files to excludeThere are some system files that should be placed in the client options file so thatthey are excluded.Attention: These system files are either locked by the operating system or they cancause problems during restore. These are system files that cannot be recoveredwithout the possibility of corrupting the operating system, or temporary files withdata that you can easily recreate.The implicitly generated statements can be seen in the lines of output of the queryinclexcl command with the source "operating system".Use the sample include-exclude list in the dsm.smp file as a starting point for yourinclude-exclude list. This is the minimum include-exclude list that you shouldhave. The dsm.smp file is located in the config folder in the installation directory. Ifyou accepted the defaults, the path to this file is C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\config\dsm.smpNote: If subfile backup is being used, the directory containing cache files shouldbe excluded with the exclude.dir option.There are exclude statements generated from a list defined by the Windowsoperating system in the Windows Registry. Those implicitly generated statementscan be seen in the lines of output of the query inclexcl command with the source"operating system".Note:Exclude files with UNC namesYou can exclude remotely accessed files by specifying their universal namingconvention (UNC) names in your exclude statement.Chapter 2.
