Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Understanding Which Files Are Backed Up

When you request a selective backup, Tivoli Storage Manager backs up a file if all of the following requirements are met:

For selective backups, Tivoli Storage Manager does not check frequency or mode, and does not check to see whether a file has changed since it was last backed up. The only criteria for selective backups are that the file is not excluded from backup services and the management class associated with it has a backup copy group.

When you run a selective backup, Tivoli Storage Manager also backs up all directory information. You can exclude the files within a directory, but you cannot exclude a directory from being backed up. Directories and NDS containers are counted in the number of objects backed up.

When you use the volinformation option with the selective command, volume information such as disk space restrictions and volume root directory trustee rights are backed up.
