48. After coping the new OPT file to the workstation, you will need to edit the following two lines.

*INCLUDE.FS C: fileleveltype=snapshot snapshotcachelocation=F:\tsmlvsa
*INCLUDE.FS F: fileleveltype=snapshot snapshotcachelocation=C:\tsmlvsa

This will enable you to backup open files, TSM requires a cache location in order maintain files that are open/in use during a backup. If you have two partitions like above you will just need to change the two lines to reflect your drive letters. If you have more than two, you can just copy one of the lines above and add the additional drive letters, and change the cache location to a different drive other then its self. Also remove the comments, save and restart the “TSM Scheduler” service.
