Hi Rainer! In our case the include/exclude file was located on a crashed disk they were trying to restore using TSM. That's why the TSM client reported a options file error. But could you imagine the panic that our UNIX guys felt when they saw no files to restore? If Tivoli sees this as a critical error, the GUI should not start at all, like the command line interface. It just quits then the options file contains errors. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

So for restore AND backup you have to repair the error and nothing serious happens until then ... and no errors should be allowed ...
