include
include.backup
include.file

Use these options to include files or assign management classes for backup processing. Include options
AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Mac OS X operating systems include.fs Controls how Tivoli Storage Manager processes your file space for incremental backups. Include options
Windows operating systems include.fs Use this option to set options on a file space-by-file space basis. Include options
Archive processing

exclude.archive
Excludes a file or group of files from archive services. Exclude options

include
include.archive

These options are equivalent. Use these options to include files or assign management classes for archive processing. Include options
AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems Windows operating systems Image processing
AIX operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems exclude.fs.nas Excludes file systems on the NAS file server from an image backup when used with the backup nas command. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the file system identified applies to all NAS file servers. The backup nas command ignores all other exclude statements including exclude.fs and exclude.dir statements. This option is for AIX® and Solaris clients only. Exclude options
Windows operating systems exclude.fs.nas Excludes file systems on the NAS file server from an image backup when used with the backup nas command. If you do not specify a NAS node name, the file system identified applies to all NAS file servers. The backup nas command ignores all other exclude statements including exclude.dir statements. This option is for all Windows clients. Exclude options
AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems exclude.image Excludes mounted file systems and raw logical volumes that match the specified pattern from full image backup operations. Incremental image backup operations are unaffected by exclude.image. This option is valid for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and all Linux clients. Exclude options
Windows operating systems exclude.image Excludes mounted file systems and raw logical volumes that match the specified pattern from full image backup operations. Incremental image backup operations are unaffected by exclude.image. This option is valid for all Windows clients. Exclude options
AIX operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems include.fs.nas Use the include.fs.nas option to bind a management class to Network Attached Storage (NAS) file systems. To specify whether Tivoli Storage Manager saves Table of Contents (TOC) information during a NAS file system image backup, use the toc option with the include.fs.nas option in your dsm.sys file. For more information, see Toc. This option is valid only for AIX and Solaris clients. Include options
Windows operating systems include.fs.nas Use the include.fs.nas option to bind a management class to Network Attached Storage (NAS) file systems. To specify whether Tivoli Storage Manager saves Table of Contents (TOC) information during a NAS file system image backup, use the toc option with the include.fs.nas option in your client options file (dsm.opt). See Toc for more information. This option is valid for all Windows clients. Include options
AIX operating systems HP-UX operating systems Linux operating systems Oracle Solaris operating systems include.image Includes a file space or logical volume, assigns a management class, or allows you to assign one of several image backup processing options to a specific logical volume when used with the backup image command. The backup image command ignores all other include options. This option is valid for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux x86_64, and Linux on POWER® only. Include options
Windows operating systems include.image Includes a file space or logical volume, assigns a management class, or allows you to assign one of several image backup processing options to a specific logical volume when used with the backup image command. The backup image command ignores all other include options. This option is valid for all Windows clients. Include options
Windows operating systems System state processing
Windows operating systems exclude.systemservice Excludes individual system components from system state backup. Input can be the keyword or component name to be excluded from backup. This option is valid for Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 only. Exclude options
Windows operating systems include.systemstate Assigns management classes for backup of the Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 system state. The default is to bind the system state object to the default management class. Include options
