The Directives section of the Admin Guide describes a couple possibilities.
For example, You could define a local directive that either *forget*s the
inherited +skip: core directive for that particular directory.

See the "Format of directive statements" section.

Subject: [Networker] directives - core files vs core directories

Is it possible to write a directive to skip files named core but to back
up directories named core?  

 

What brings this up is the standard unix directive contains this:

 

<< / >>

            +skip: core

 

 

So both files and directories that are named core are skipped.  We have
software which has a directory for the "core" install that is named
core.  I need to back up this directory, but I don't want to back up all
the (potentially large) core files on the system.  How do I get around
this?

 

Thanks.

Teresa
