Re: Excluding files during restore

In one of the new versions of the client a new option in the
dsm.sys/dsm.opt silently slipped - Exclude.Restore. It is not documented
at all, you cannot find it neither in the client manual nor in the `dsmc
help`!!!
But if you start the GUI client, select from the menu Edit -> Preferences,
choose Include-Exclude tab and select Category=Restore, .... you can
specify which files you want *not* to be restored. They will be skipped on
restore same as ordinary Exclude prevents during incremental backup. Even
if you choose only that excluded file, you will not get it restored -
there is force backup using `dsmc selective` but there is no "selective
restore".
You can use compete exclude patterns:
Exclude.Restore "C:\my garbage\...\*"
Exclude.Restore /home/user/unwanted/*log
BTW: Andy, I think the option is useful (one of our customers liked it
very much) but needs to be documented. I've missed it till few days ago as
I am using the GUI client only when I teach a class (and teaching I've
learned about the option :-)))

Subject: Excluding files during restore
Hi!
Using command line to do a restore I would like to exclude some files or
directories.
Can I exclude files/directories using "dsmc restore"?
