System files to exclude
There are some system files that should be placed in the client options file so that they are excluded.
The implicitly generated statements can be seen in the lines of output of the query inclexcl command with the source "operating system".
Use the sample include-exclude list in the dsm.smp file
as a starting point for your include-exclude list. This is the minimum include-exclude list that you
should have. The dsm.smp file is located in the config folder in the
installation directory. If you accepted the defaults, the path to this file is C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\config\dsm.smp
There are exclude statements generated from a list defined by the Windows operating system in the Windows Registry. Those implicitly generated statements can be seen in the lines of output of the query inclexcl command with the source "operating system".

- Do not specify volumes with periods in the name (...). The backup-archive client uses the sequence of periods as part of include-exclude processing. The client reports an invalid include-exclude statement if a volume has a sequence of periods in the name. The volume must be renamed.
- Objects that have a type of rhap and a creator of lcmt are excluded from processing. Generally, these are special file-system objects that can also be created with the mknod command or are UNIX mount points. The objects or mount points must be manually recreated as part of a full system restore.
