This topic lists some items to consider if you want to
include specific files or groups of files for compression and encryption
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.
- Tivoli Storage Manager processes exclude.fs, exclude.dir,
and other include-exclude statements first. Tivoli Storage Manager then
considers any include.compression and include.encrypt statements.
For example, consider the following include-exclude list:
exclude /home/jones/proj1/file.txt
include.compression /home/jones/proj1/file.txt
include.encrypt /home/jones/proj1/file.txt
Tivoli Storage Manager examines
the exclude /home/jones/proj1/file.txt statement
first and determines that /home/jones/proj1/file.txt is
excluded from backup processing and is, therefore, not a candidate
for compression and encryption processing.
- Include-exclude compression and encryption processing is valid
for backup and archive processing only.
