There may be files on your file systems that you do not want to back up. These files may be core files, local caches of network file systems, operating system or application files that could be easily recovered by reinstalling the program, or any other files that you could easily rebuild.
An Authorized User on your workstation can use the exclude and include options in your include-exclude options list to specify which files to exclude from backup processing.
Tivoli Storage Manager uses the include-exclude options file for incremental and selective backups and 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 want to exclude.
You can also specify the include and exclude options in the client system options file dsm.sys. For more information on creating an include-exclude options file, see Creating an Include-Exclude List (Optional).
