This topic lists some items to consider if you want to exclude files from adaptive subfile backup processing using the exclude.subfile option.
exclude c:\test\*.*
exclude.subfile c:\test\file.txt
include c:\test\file.txt
Tivoli Storage Manager examines the statements (reading from bottom to top) and determines that the c:\test\file.txt file is a candidate for backup, but is not a candidate for adaptive subfile backup.
The subfilebackup option does not work correctly for migrated files. If you use a combination of subfilebackup and non-subfilebackup for migrated files, your data might be corrupted on the server.
