One thing we did that was quite useful was to dump information for all
clients to one file. It takes a little while to run as it has to connect
to each client but if you select all of the clients in the Activity
Monitor > NetBackup Management > Host Properties Clients then select
from the menu File > Export you will be prompted for the location of the
output file. This will then create a .txt file containing details for
all selected clients. You could then extract the exclusions from this
file if that is what you are specifically after. A small part of the
output is below.

        Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exclusion lists - How to list all on
server
        
        
        For those keeping track, I am trying to audit our back up
policies (NBU 6 MP2 on Win 2K Srvr). 
        
        
        I have almost everything except I can not find out how to list
all the excluded directories or files. I would like them all in one nice
neat clean list or at least somehow CLI so I can parse it.

        Any thoughts other than I am stuck doing this one server at a
time through the GUI?

        Thanks.
