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

Understanding Which Files are Backed Up

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

The the server can also define include-exclude statements in the include-exclude list. To view the contents of your include-exclude list, use the query inclexcl command.

Attention: When you run an incremental backup, the client also backs up all directory information. When you back up a file, the directories in the path that contain the file are also backed up. Directories and NDS container objects are counted in the number of objects backed up.

There are three types of incremental backup: full incremental, Incremental-By-Date, and selective. You can use all types of backup to back up the NDS. In addition, Tivoli Storage Manager saves trustee rights, file attributes, name spaces, and associated name space information with the backup versions of the files.
