Hi All
I have a client options set
on the server using which I am controlling the client directories that I want to
backup. Basically, we are asking the users to place all files in d:\backup for
backup. I have the following three client options in the order they
appear:
exclude.dir ?:\...\*
exclude.dir ?:\
include d:\backup\...\*.* desktop
where desktop is my
management class. Everything in d:\backup and below is getting backed up.
However, all the directories in my C: and D: drives are being "sent".
The documentation clearly says that include exclude rules do not apply to
directories and that one should use exclude.dit syntax, which is what I am
using. How do I avoid all 25,000 directory names from appearing in my filespace?
Also, when I use the GUI front end to restore, these directories appear, though
there is nothing underneath them. This is a problem because the novice user (we
have a lot of them) will think that these directories have been backed
up.
Another
question: If NT or Win 95 Clients create a shortcut in d:\backup to other
document directories, will the contents of these directories be backed up? (Is
there an equivalent of followsymboliclink for Windows NT?)
Thanks
for any help.
Ravi
