If you want to perform this operation... ...then this is the client command: Point-in-time full logical volume backup for dsmc backup image d:\ a drive Full backup of all files in c:\data\list1.txt home to the virtual filespace=\virtualtsm containing group leader grp dsmc backup group -filelist=c:\data\list1.txt -groupname=grp -virtualfsname=\virtualtsm Tip on include-exclude processing: Especially on Windows platforms, be careful of the difference between the patterns of double wildcard (*.*) and single wildcard (*). In an INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statement, these patterns are processed differently. The specification INCLUDE C:\WORK\* will match all files in the WORK directory. The specification INCLUDE C:\WORK\*.* will match files in the WORK directory only if they include the period or dot. For the backup commands, however, the patterns are considered the same. For example, the two commands DSMC INCREMENTAL C:\WORK\* and DSMC INCREMENTAL C:\WORK\*.* both match all files. Therefore, if you put INCLUDE C:\WORK\*.* in your INCLUDE/EXCLUDE list and then issue the command DSMC INCREMENTAL C:\WORK\* you will not see any files without the dot being backed up. This is because they do not match the INCLUDE rule (assuming an EXCLUDE statement excludes everything else). We recommend that you configure all include/exclude options with a single wildcard (for example, INCLUDE C:\WORK\*, EXCLUDE D:\TEMP\*) to avoid potential hard-to-diagnose problems, unless you have a specific requirement for files with dots in their names. The next example illustrates the relationship between wildcards in the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE statements and backup commands. 330 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
