[Veritas-bu] Backup all files in a folder but not any subfolders

Cheers M have tried this I can confirm that it does work. Set up a policy to backup /app/site (contains many sub-directories files) Set up an exclude list for same of /app/site/*/ Ran backup checked that only files within /app/site NOT sub-directories were backed up. Many thanks for the

[Veritas-bu] Backup all files in a folder but not any subfolders

Thanks, I should have been clearer sorry. I know how to do it in an exclude list but that is global to the client. What I am trying to do is separate subfolders into one stream and root files into another. When is Symantec going to have per policy or per stream excludes?

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup all files in a folder but not any subfolders

For this level of effort, it's the same to create two policies to reach your goal. You can get the streams and use the excludes to filter out what you don't want. Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP, VCS ▪ Sr. Storage Engineer ▪ SunGard Availability Services ▪ 757 N. Eldridge Suite 200, Houston TX 77079 ▪

Per policy excludes are implemented already. Have been since at least v3. Client Global: /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list Policy (all scheds): /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.policyname Policy Sched: /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.policyname.schedname -M -Original Message-

I think I am missing something here, aren't exclude lists client based rather than policy based? +-- |This was sent by dber...@cucbc.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com.

Yes, they're on the client, but they can be limited to function on that client for only one policy or policy sched combo. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of dbergen Sent: Thursday, June 11,

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup all files in a folder but not any subfolders

Or to restate that - you can have multiple exclude lists - one for each policy on the client. Just append the policy to the exclude.list its relevant for: e.g. POLICY SERVER-OS POLICY SERVER-DB In SERVER-DB you're backing all of /database/prodDB and all of /oracle/prodDB without any excludes.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup all files in a folder but not any subfolders

But the excludes are created from the Backup Archive Restore GUI on the client. You can create the policy and/or schedule granular excludes here as well. Remember that NetBackup will only read one exclude list. What I'm getting at is if you have a global (to the client) and policy and scheudule

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup all files in a folder but not any subfolders

Use the client settings app in the Administration Console or the Backup and Archive GUI on the client to specify exclusion, policy and schedules to apply to. I wouldn't recommend updating this manually in the registry. -Jonathan ___ Veritas-bu maillist

Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup all files in a folder but not any subfolders

NB recurses by default. It's hard to stop. You'd have to do this by using an exclude file on the client, I suspect. If your filelist includes: /top/dir_to_backup You might try to exclude /top/dir_to_backup/*/ That might do it. I've never tried it, though. Make sure the trailing slash is
