Unix directory exclude question
We are running a scheduled incremental on an AIX 4.3.3 client. There is a need to exclude a specific directory tree, which needs to be archived via another, shell script based, scheduled command. The initial idea was to add an exclude.dir in the client dsm.sys file. This caused the incremental to exclude that directory tree but, when performing the command line (dsmc) archive the log indicates that this tree is excluded. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave ADT Security Services
Re: Unix directory exclude question
exclude.backup /directory/.../* This would exclude files from backup but not prevent archives. Unfortunately it does not exclude the directories.

Re: Unix directory exclude question
Sounds like a bug -- yes, there has been a level (or 3) that incorrectly caused exclude list to be processed by ar cmd... it's the client code that controls it -- try running the latest (4.2.x) client, unless you're hot to use 5.1, then get the latest 5.1 download patch.
