We had the same thing happening with oracle files this is what we did to
get them to backup.
On the client servers we put a file that looked like this:
/usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.<Policyname>

In that file we put the files we wanted to include: /ora_backup/*/day*/*
We also added the same entry to the exclude_list
On the master server we created a policy to match the include list with
the Backup Selection: /ora_backup/*/day*/*

This is picking up all our SQL backtrack files.  We have added the
server names under clients that we want to backup in this manner.

I appreciate the assistance, but I'm not sure you understand what's
going
on:

Directories named "core", and any directory structure below core (i.e.
/blah/core/, /blah/core/a/, /blah/core/b/) are being backed up just
fine. 

The problem is, FILES under the core directory (i.e.
/blah/core/java.txt,
/blah/core/a/foo.sh, /blah/core/b/backup.class) are NOT being backed up.

What I need is the magic wildcard string that will pick up the files.

I've tried:

/*/oracle/*/core
/*/oracle/*/core/*

Both separately and together. The files are still not being backed up!

We maintain include and exclude list all the time.

All you need to do is create a policy that you will have the Backup
Selections listed with what every you want i.e. /*/oracle/*core/*
something like that.  Then on the servers you will have the
include_list.POLICY_NAME  This way you can add as may servers as you
wish and be able to reuse the same policy.

Does this help?
