[Veritas-bu] Does anyone use file excludes
2005-01-19 15:11:53
Note, by the way, that simply "core" on the line isn't enough anymore. All
file excludes in v5.x and up have to be absolute paths.
/core
/*/core
/*/*/core
/*/*/*/core
...etc...
I once called this a "travesty of usability". My opinion hasn't changed.

On unix i make good use of exclude files
The standard exclude_list i roll out to all clients is as follows
core
/proc
/tmp
/cdrom
/dev/fd
/var/crash
/var/run
/var/tmp
/etc/mnttab
Then i exclude files for certain backups which are not required, eg
log_files which i have in a separate log_archiving policy
Hope this helps
Dave
