Hi all, 
 
    So I have this problem where media that is tar format (overwrite of tar
NOT set), or write protected or from another backup product where Netback up
can not read the media.  Operators have loaded this media into the library
and then they get picked up in the backup and the backup with that tape
fails.  I want to be able to test the media as to whether or not a backup
will be able to write to that media, all other factors not withstanding.  On
other backup products I can ask the library to actually read the tape header
and tell me basic info so that I can chose to eject that tape and not let a
backup even try the media, or I can overwrite/erase that tape. 
 
How do I do these things from Net Backup 4.5 (I do not have vault).
 
Thanks,

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exlude lists



I backup individual registries with directives like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:\ 

There is a bug in Cold fusion that creates thousand of entries for Old
client sessions. So the backups are not completing or running for three
days. Is there a way to exlude 

"/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Allaire/ColdFusion/CurrentVersion/Clients/" 

I tried this as 

"/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Allaire/ColdFusion/CurrentVersion/Clients/" 
and 
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients" 

But the backups are still stuck. 

Thanks to all for help. 
Ajay.
