</head><body><p>Hi,<br></p><p>short question: if we are using the native TSM dsmc Client, should we exclude the "./.snapshots/." directory from the backup or is it best practise to backup the .snapshots as well. </p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Note: We DO NOT use a dedicated .snapshots directory for backups right now. The snapshots directory is created by a policy which is not adapted for TSM so the snapshot creation and deletion is not synchronized with TSM. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the near future we might use dedicated .snapshots for the backup.<br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">tia<br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hajo<br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">- </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Unix Systems Engineer </span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">--------------------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">MetaModul GmbH</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Süderstr. 12</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">25336 Elmshorn</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">HRB: 11873 PI</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">UstID: DE213701983</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Mobil: + 49 177 4393994</span><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Mail: <a href="mailto:service@metamodul.com">service@metamodul.com</a></span></p></body></html>
