filespaces as a whole, aren't bound to a managmement class... I would check the include/exclude file and see how it is coded. Also remember, if you change the include/exclude list, that will apply it to all files previously backed up so the include/exclude list would be the place to look. an

2002-06-05 Thread Cook, Dwight E
remember, the general way the ~supported environment matrix~ works is client down one version.release from server client equal to server client ahead one version.release from server so the 4.1 client to a 5.1 server would place the whole environment so it falls outside the support matrix

because TSM processes on a file system basis... since / is a single file system, it will start a single process. Do you only want / backed up ? what about /usr and /opt /var, etc they are not part of / Now if you said incr -subdir=yes then you would see a process for / kick off,
