You can preview the list of objects to be backed up or archived according to the include-exclude list, prior to sending any data to the server.
The Tivoli® Storage Manager client Java™ GUI directory tree shows detailed information
of included and excluded objects. The directory tree windows in the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Java GUI allow you to select files
and directories to include or exclude. You should use this preview command
to make sure that you include and exclude the correct files. The following
is a sample scenario for using the include-exclude preview function.
For example,
follow these steps to back up the files on your /Users/home file
space:
- Bring up the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Java GUI and open the Backup tree. You can see all of the directories and files that have been excluded by your options file and other sources.
- Scroll down the tree and notice that all of the *.o files in your /Volumes/home/mary/myobjdir are backed up.
- You do not want to back up all of the *.o files, so you right click a .o file, and choose "View File Details" from the popup menu.
- The dialog shows that these files are included, so click the "Advanced" button and create a rule to exclude all .o files from the DATA:\home file space.
- A rule is created at the bottom of your options file. The current directory is refreshed in the Backup tree, and the .o files have the red 'X', meaning they are excluded.
- When you look at other directories, they show the new excludes that you have added. Press "Backup" and back up the files on your /home file space.
