This topic lists some items to consider if you want to exclude specific files or groups of files from compression processing during a backup or archive operation.
exclude /home/jones/proj1/*.*
exclude.compression /home/jones/proj1/file.txt
include /home/jones/proj1/file.txt
Tivoli Storage Manager examines the statements (reading from bottom to top) and determines that the /home/jones/proj1/file.txt file is a candidate for backup, but is not a candidate for compression processing.
exclude c:\test\*.*
exclude.compression 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 compression processing.
