Reducing client data flow with include and exclude options

You can use client include and exclude options to reduce the amount of data that is backed up, which shortens the backup and restore windows.

Almost every file system collects files that are not critical to your applications and users. Examples of such files include operating system files or updates that can be easily downloaded and be reinstalled if you do not have a local copy, core files, log files, and cached data. Use the IBM Storage Protect client include and exclude options to ensure that the client operations are protecting only what is important.
