Troubleshooting
Problem
The following statement was coded to the Tivoli Storage Manager client include/exclude list: INCLUDE.ENCRYPT "c:\...\*" TEST_MC When backing up the file, the file is bound to the default management class and not to TEST_MC.
Cause
The documentation is not very clear and could imply the INCLUDE.ENCRYPT does support management class assignment.
Resolving The Problem
While the general syntax documented in the client manual reads:
option pattern <mgmtclass>
it is documented that a include.backup or include.archive statement is required to assign different management classes to processed objects:
"include, include.backup, include.file
Use these options to include files or assign management classes
for backup processing.
The include option affects archive and backup processing. If
you want to assign different management classes for archive and
backup processing, always specify include.archive and
include.backup with their own management classes."
You need two include statements if you want to encrypt files and assign a different management class during backup/archive.
Example:
INCLUDE.BACKUP "c:\...\*" TEST_MC
INCLUDE.ENCRYPT "c:\...\*"
