Makes sense, except that there are many many directories called "core"
across dozens of oracle installs. Maintaining the list would be a nightmare.

You can create include_lists and exclude_lists that are schedule related.

I recommend configuring two backup schedules.

One to get all the files except core files
And a second backup to get all of the core files in a particular directory
tree.

Does this make sense?

This should be an easy one:

We've got "core" in our exclude_list to prevent the unnecessary backing up
of core dumps.

Unfortunately, there are several directories in our Oracle installations
called "core." The exclude list causes NetBackup to skip over these
directories.

I added this to the include_list file to override the exclude_list:

/*/oracle/*/core

This backs up DIRECTORIES named core, and any underlying directory
structure. However, it skips any FILES named "core" and does not back up any
of the files in the core directories.
