RE: [Veritas-bu] exclude list on Linux client

[Jeff Lightner]

Title: Message

For Unix/Linux clients your exclude list file name should contain the name of the policy.    i.e. If the policy is named “HOSTNAME-OS” rather than just creating: exclude_list You should create: exclude_list.HOSTNAME-OS       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WEAVER, Simon Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 9:54 AM To: 'Pillapalem, Smitha'; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] exclude list on Linux client   Hi Not knowing much about Linux clients, my guess would be, to exclude certain roots or folders, you would goto the properties of the client and add then in the exclude list.   I would think this is done on the master, under host properties / clients and/or the client itself.   This is what I would do if excluding certain do. I assume you have stopped / restarted all relevant netbackup services for changes to take affect?   Now I did read somewhere that on 5.1, NBU has a problem with EXCLUDING folders on certain clients, and I think (??) this may have been fixed in MP4. Not sure if this will help the problem, but wanted to share in case anyone could clarify this.   Finally, may be worth a look at this http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/277121.htm   Hope its of some help - trying to assist where I can really! My other feeling was, maybe there is a Command line that can be used to verify if the exclude list is either there or in effect Thanks Simon Weaver Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Tel: 02392-708598 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Pillapalem, Smitha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 January 2006 14:41 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] exclude list on Linux client Any suggestions please? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Pillapalem, Smitha Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 5:01 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Cc: Pillapalem, Smitha Subject: [Veritas-bu] exclude list on Linux client Hi all, I'm on NB 5.1 - I have 2 Linux clients(util1 and util2 ) under a policy and with the following filelist /export /root /home /etc /var /u/d01 /usr /lib All I need is to exclude /u/d01 , /usr and /lib from one of the clients (util2) - I created a exclude list on util2 as follows - [EMAIL PROTECTED] netbackup]#  cat exclude_list /usr /lib /u/d01 But NB still is backing up the above 3 dir's on util2 - Any idea y?
