<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Steven:<br><br></div>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.<br><br>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/<font size="2" face="sans-serif">.<wbr>mmbackupRules.home and place in it?: </font><br>EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../core"<br>EXCLUDE "/igpfs/home/.../.opera/cache4"<br>EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.netscape/cache/.../*"<br>EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/default/.../Cache"<br>EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/.../Cache/*"<br>EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/.../Cache"<br>EXCLUDE "/gpfs/home/.../.cache/mozilla/*"<br>EXCLUDE.DIR "/gpfs/home/.../.mozilla/firefox/.../Cache"<br><br></div><div>I did a test run of mmbackup and I noticed I got a template put in that location:<br></div><div>[root@cl002 ~]# ll -al /var/mmfs/mmbackup/<br>total 12<br>drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 15 07:43 .<br>drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jan 4 10:42 ..<br>-r-------- 1 root root 1177 Feb 15 07:43 .mmbackupRules.home<br><br></div><div>So I can copy this off into /var/mmfs/etc for example and to use next time with my edits.<br></div><div><br></div>What is normally used to schedule the mmbackup?

wish to accomplish? It sounds to me like you want to use mmbackup
to do incremental backup of parts or all of your file system. But
your question did not specify what specifically other than "whole
file system incremental" you want to accomplish. Mmbackup
by default, with "-t incremental" will back up the whole
file system, including all filesets of either variety, and without regard
to storage pools. If you wish to back up only a sub-tree of the
file system, it must be in an independent fileset (--inode-space=new) and
the current product supports doing the backup of just that fileset.
If you want to backup parts of the file system but exclude things
in certain storage pools, from anywhere in the tree, you can either use
"include exclude rules" in your Spectrum Protect (formerly
TSM) configuration file, or you can hand-edit the policy rules for mmbackup
which can be copied from /var/mmfs/mmbackup/.<wbr>mmbackupRules.<file system
name> (only persistent during mmbackup execution). Copy
that file to a new location, hand-edit and run mmbackup next time with
-P <your policy rules file>. Is there something else
you want to accomplish?</font><br><br><a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.2/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r22.doc/bl1adv_semaprul.htm" target="_blank"><font size="2" color="blue" face="sans-serif">https://www.ibm.com/support/<wbr>knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.2/<wbr>com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r22.<wbr>doc/bl1adv_semaprul.htm</font></a><br><a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.2/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r22.doc/bl1adm_backupusingmmbackup.htm" target="_blank"><font size="2" color="blue" face="sans-serif">https://www.ibm.com/support/<wbr>knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.2/<wbr>com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r22.<wbr>doc/bl1adm_<wbr>backupusingmmbackup.htm</font></a><br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Steven Berman
