This topic lists some items to consider if you want to
include specific files or groups of files for compression, encryption,
and adaptive subfile backup processing during a backup or archive
operation.
- You must set the compression option
to yes to enable compression processing. If you do not specify
the compression option or you set the compression option
to no, Tivoli® Storage Manager does
not perform compression processing.
- You must set the subfilebackup option
to yes to enable include-exclude adaptive subfile backup processing.
If you do not specify the subfilebackup option or
you set the subfilebackup option to no, Tivoli Storage Manager does
not perform adaptive subfile backup processing.
- Tivoli Storage Manager processes exclude.dir and
other include-exclude statements first. Tivoli Storage Manager then
considers any include.compression, include.encrypt and include.subfile statements.
For example, consider the following include-exclude list:
exclude c:\test\file.txt
include.compression c:\test\file.txt
include.encrypt c:\test\file.txt
include.subfile c:\test\file.txt
Tivoli Storage Manager examines
the exclude c:\test\file.txt statement first and
determines that c:\test\file.txt is excluded from
backup processing and is, therefore, not a candidate for compression,
encryption, or adaptive subfile backup processing.
- Include-exclude compression and encryption processing is valid
for backup and archive processing only.
- Include-exclude adaptive subfile backup processing
is valid for backup and restore processing only.
- As with other include-exclude statements, you
can use the inclexcl option to specify a file that
is in Unicode format, which contains include.compression, include.encrypt and include.subfile statements
specifying Unicode files. See Inclexcl for more information.
