The query inclexcl command displays a list of include-exclude statements in the order in which they are processed during backup and archive operations. The list displays the type of option, the scope of the option (archive, all, and so on), and the name of the source file.
Tivoli® Storage Manager excludes some files from file system backup and restore operations. You can use the query inclexcl command to display a list of these files. In the output of the command, these files have Operating System next to the path.
You can test the validity of patterns you want to use in your include-exclude list before you actually insert them in your options file. See the test pattern explanation.
Use the detail option to display the management class that is associated with an include-exclude statement.
Use the display option
to display the files that are included or excluded from a file system
back up operation.
Supported Clients
This command is valid for all clients.
Syntax
>>-Query INCLexcl--+--------------+--+----------+--+-----------------------+->< '-test pattern-' '- -DETail-' | .-basic---. | '--DISPLAY=-+-vssexcl-+-' '-all-----'
Parameters
- test pattern
- Use for testing the validity of patterns you want to use in your
include-exclude list. When you use a test pattern with this command,
the following occurs:
- The internal include-exclude list is not displayed
- The pattern is processed as if it came from an include-exclude statement, including all the usual error checking
- The pattern is displayed as it would appear in the include-exclude list
- -DETail
- Displays the management class that is associated with the include-exclude statement.
- -DISPLAY=basic | vssexcl | all
- -DISPLAY=basic displays the files and directories
that have been included or excluded by one of the following methods:
- The objects were included or excluded in the client options file.
- The objects were included or excluded in a server-side client option set.
- The objects were excluded by the operating system because they are contained in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup registry key.
- The objects were explicitly excluded by IBM® Tivoli Storage Manager.
- -DISPLAY=vssexcl displays a list of files
that are excluded from a file system backup, because they are included
when a system state backup is performed. Files that are backed up
by a backup systemstate operation are protected
by the VSS writer; you cannot include these files in a file system
backup by adding them to an include statement in the dsm.opt file,
or client option set.
- -DISPLAY=all displays all files that are
included or excluded during a file system backup.

class that is associated with each statement.
query inclexcl -detail - Task
