Usually, there are files on your disk that you do not want to back up. These files might be operating system or application files that could be easily recovered by reinstalling the program, or any other file that you could easily rebuild.
You can use the include and exclude options in the options file to specify which files to exclude from backup processing. Tivoli Storage Manager backs up any file that is not explicitly excluded. You do not need to use an include option to include specific files unless those files are in a directory you are trying to exclude.
For more information on setting up an include-exclude list, see Creating an Include-Exclude List (Optional).
