Yes by default all files are subfile backed up. Use include.subfile and exclude.subfile.
>From the TSM Client manual: After Tivoli Storage Manager evaluates exclude.dir and any other include-exclude options controlling backup, archive, image, and system objects processing, it uses the following options to determine which files undergo compression, encryption, and adaptive subfile backup processing: exclude.compression include.compression exclude.encrypt include.encrypt exclude.subfile include.subfile. So to include only *.pst Exclude.subfile * Include.subfile *:\...\*.pst "Chang, Calvin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: That's what I thought, but does it mean that all files being backed up will use the subfile backup? I just need one file to be backed up which is my .pst files. -----Original Message----- From: TSM_User [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 2:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Using subfile backup for specific filetypes ? >From the TSM Admin Reference: Set Subfile Client: Use this command to set up the server to allow clients to back up subfiles. On the client's machine, the SUBFILEBACKUP, SUBFILECACHEPATH, and SUBFILECACHESIZE options must be specified in the client's options file (dsm.opt). It would seem that you are supposed to still need SUBFILEBACKUP YES in the dsm.opt file. "Chang, Calvin" wrote: Does it hold true that once you turned subfilebackup=yes in your dsm.opt all backups from then on will use subfile? It seems to be the case because when I backed up my 400 MB .pst file without adding an "include.subfile" statement in my dsm.opt it went head and backed it up using subfile backup by default and sent 9MB's to the tsmserver the 2nd time around. When would I use the include.subfile option? When I have subfilebackup=no? Reason why I'm asking this is because if I can limit the amount of storage space on TSM for all .pst files that would great! Instead of doing a full backup of the .pst file every time it changes.

And this list is processed from top to bottom.
