If you are a root user, you can create a default client user options file (dsm.opt) that can be used by all users on your workstation by using one of the following methods:
Copy dsm.opt.smp to dsm.opt or a new file name of your choice. The dsm.opt file must reside in the default installation directory or the directory pointed to by the DSM_CONFIG environment variable.
Attention: If you are reinstalling and you want to keep your existing dsm.opt file intact, do not copy the dsm.opt.smp file to dsm.opt.
You can then edit your dsm.opt file as appropriate for your system. From the GUI, you can edit this file using the the preferences editor by opening the Edit menu and selecting Preferences.
Your client user options file (dsm.opt) can include options to control backup and archive processing, authorization of stored files, and scheduling of tasks. See Chapter 9, Setting Processing Options for more information.
Notes:
If you are a user and want to use different options than those specified in the default client user options file (dsm.opt), you can create your own client user options file. You can set all the options that can be set in the default user options file.
For example, in the client user options file, you can use the domain option to specify the file systems you want to incrementally backup. The default is all locally mounted file systems except for /tmp.
You can use one of the following methods to create your own client user options file:
You can then edit your dsm.opt file as appropriate for your system or use the GUI preferences editor by opening the Edit menu and selecting Preferences.
