Hi Steven: Yes that is more or less what we want to do. We have tivoli here for backup so I'm somewhat familiar with inclexcl files. The filesystem I want to backup is a shared home.
Right now I do have a policy...mmlspolicy home -L does return a policy. So if I did not want to backup core and cache files I could create a backup policy using /var/mmfs/mmbackup/.mmbackupRules.home and place in it?: EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../core" EXCLUDE "/igpfs/home/.../.opera/cache4" EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.netscape/cache/.../*" EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/default/.../Cache" EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/.../Cache/*" EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/.../Cache" EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.cache/mozilla/*" EXCLUDE.DIR "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/firefox/.../Cache" I did a test run of mmbackup and I noticed I got a template put in that location: [root@cl002 ~]# ll -al /var/mmfs/mmbackup/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 15 07:43 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jan 4 10:42 .. -r-------- 1 root root 1177 Feb 15 07:43 .mmbackupRules.home So I can copy this off into /var/mmfs/etc for example and to use next time with my edits. What is normally used to schedule the mmbackup? Cronjob? dsmcad? Thanks much.
