In our organization we have a hole in the process between our unix and backup teams.
We use includes vs. excludes for our misc. filesystem type backups. The Unix team rarely tells us when they add a new filesystem on a server. At current we have left it at a "If you don't tell us we don't know about it" but that is neither proactive nor productive. One of the members of our backup team that was formerly a member of the storage team has a script in place that sends him an email whenever a filesystem is added to a Unix server. His suggestion is that we take the initiative and add these filesystems to the backups whenever a new one comes in. My thought is while that is great perhaps its time to move to an "excludes" type of system, granted its a manual effort across hundreds of Unix servers and we will probably have to manage the excludes in many the same ways... Thoughts? Am I making sense? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
