options file to support your requirements. Respective client options are DATEFORMAT, NUMBERFORMAT, and TIMEFORMAT. Include-exclude options The include-exclude options are written into the client user options file dsm.opt on non-UNIX platforms. On UNIX/Linux, include-exclude options are either written into the client system options file (dsm.sys)or in a separate file, called the include-exclude file. If you use a separate include-exclude file, rather than including the statements directly, use the option INCLEXCL in the client system options file dsm.sys to indicate the name and location of the include-exclude file: INCLEXCL /tsm/server1/inclexcl.file Having determined where to put the include-exclude options, here is how to specify them. The two statements INCLUDE and EXCLUDE are used. The INCLUDE option specifies files to include for backup services. Also use this option to assign a management class either to specific files or to all files to which you have not already assigned a specific management class, and for which you do not want Tivoli Storage Manager to use the default management class. The EXCLUDE option excludes files from backup or archive services. When you back up files, any files you exclude are not considered for backup. For example, we recommend excluding the Tivoli Storage Manager installation directory. Further, a combination of exclude and include rules may be used to enforce compression or encryption on certain subsets of files. Include-exclude options are checked from the bottom up to the top of the list until a match is found. If so, the processing stops and checks whether the option is INCLUDE or EXCLUDE. If the option is INCLUDE, the file is backed up using the assigned management class. If the option is EXCLUDE, the file is not backed up. Any file that does not match any of the rules is automatically included for backup and is bound to the default management class. Tip: If your workstation is memory constrained, specify the option MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP Yes in your client options file. Specifying Yes reduces memory consumption but increases backup time. You can also use the RESOURCEUTILIZATION option to increase the number of parallel sessions initiated to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. By default, a client uses two sessions: one session to query the server and one to send file data. For example, a RESOURCEUTILIZATION 10 setting permits up to eight sessions with the server, which may result in faster backup as multiple file spaces are backed up in parallel. Chapter 4.
