The exclude processing the journal daemon employs is a subset of the
exclude processing the backup client provides.
Some primary differences between journal exclude processing and backup
client
exclude processing are that journal exclude processing doesn't support
Exclude.Dir
nor does it support Include statements.
In general many exclude statements shouldn't not increase the likelihood
of
buffer overflow errors on Windows.
Objects are excluded soon after the file system notification is received
by the
journal daemon and excluding the object prevents journal entries from
being
added or updated.
The amount of processing required to exclude the objects (basically all
done in memory )
is much less than the processing required to update the journal (i/o,
etc.) so excluding objects
which change frequently probably is more likely to decrease the likelihood
of buffer overflows
Hope this helps .....

Subject: Question on include/exclude and Journal
I have a client with a somewhat extensive include/exclude list for their
file servers. They also have the Journal service configured since most of
them are fairly large (object count), too. I've been searching, but is
there
any "recommendation" to have the include/exclude list in the Journal INI
file match the ones for the B/A client? Or would that just add too much
overhead to the journal service and increase your chances of the notify
buffer filling up and the journal being marked invalid.
Any opinions?
