Dear Balanand, Excluding files from a mkcd, works the same way as a mksysb. mkcd uses /etc/exclude.rootvg for files/directories to be excluded from the backup.
Use the -e flag. /usr/sbin/mkcd -d /dev/cd0 -L -D -e The mkcd command automatically excludes any temporary files created during the backup, by inserting the filenames into the /etc/exclude.rootvg file... # cat /etc/exclude.rootvg ./mkcd/mksysb_image ./mkcd/cd_images ./mkcd/cd_fs I have a nice script which runs my mksysbs, using mkcd command, if u want it let me know.
