OK, regarding " We can't help you much if you don't supply enough information. Any diagnosis based on what you've said so far will be nothing but WAGs."
Here is a bit more info. TSM Server 4.2.2.12 running on Solaris 2.7 TSM Client 3.7.2.0 running on Solaris 2.6 All client options are defined on the TSM server (not in the client dsm.sys file) �and consist of a few other exludes of files / dir's etc. Nothing at all in releation to /mnt file system. The /mnt/stats mount point is temporary while an administrator moves some files (quite a lot in fact). When done, the moint point will be removed again, but I just want to exclude it for tonights backup. The way I check to see if files, file systems, dir's etc will be backed up is to load up the ba client on the gui and see if said dir etc appears in the backup list. If they do, I assume that they are not being excluded. Here is an output of df -k on the client machine if that helps at all.

What am I doing wrong? Let's take this a step back. What is your TSM server level? client level? What do the relevant portions of your client option file say? How do you know the /mnt/stats filesystem is being backed up? We can't help you much if you don't supply enough information. Any diagnosis based on what you've said so far will be nothing but WAGs. Please review the monthly TSM faq on how to post sufficient information to describe your problem. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
