Re: [Veritas-bu] Exclusion lists - How to list all on server

One thing we did that was quite useful was to dump information for all clients to one file. It takes a little while to run as it has to connect to each client but if you select all of the clients in the Activity Monitor > NetBackup Management > Host Properties Clients then select from the menu File > Export you will be prompted for the location of the output file. This will then create a .txt file containing details for all selected clients. You could then extract the exclusions from this file if that is what you are specifically after. A small part of the output is below.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exclusion lists - How to list all on server

For those keeping track, I am trying to audit our back up policies (NBU 6 MP2 on Win 2K Srvr).

I have almost everything except I can not find out how to list all the excluded directories or files. I would like them all in one nice neat clean list or at least somehow CLI so I can parse it.

Any thoughts other than I am stuck doing this one server at a time through the GUI?

Thanks.
