[Veritas-bu] Drive Exclusion List

If the list below is your exclude list, and you're excluding C:\ and
E:\, then why are you surprised that you're getting no backups for them?

 
The INCLUDE entries in your policy are applied first to build the backup
list (that's the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES), you'll get one image if the multiple
data streams is off or multiple images (per drive letter) if it's
selected.  
 
The client's exclude_list is applied next, paring down the backup list
(and whacking C & E as you're config'd, though you should get a stub job
if your "mult. data streams" box is selected).  
 
Finally any client-side include_list entries, not to be confused with
the on from above, are applied and add back stuff excluded from above.
 
So, if you want all of C except the recyler & temp and all that, then
just remove the C:\ from the exclude list.  Same for E.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Drive Exclusion List



We are running NBU 5.1 MP5 on HP-UX Master/Media Servers and have a
Windows 2003 client at the same release.  Our problem is that the C and
E drive will not back up using the regular policy using
all_local_drives.  The client has this reg setting 

C:\ 
C:\RECYCLER 
C:\Temp 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\perflib_perfdata_115c.dat 
C:\WINDOWS\Temp 
C:\winnt\system32\perflib*.* 
D:\PROGRA~1\exchsrvr 
D:\RECYCLER 
E:\ 

There is nothing on the Master server Window Client Exclude list except
what is listed above.  On the client itself, when I right click on the C
or E drive, I always get the option to include, which I select and when
I right click on it again, it gives me the option to include.  When I go
to do a restore, only the D drive is showing. 

I have been able to back up the C and E drive from the client. 

Any ideas of where else to check? 

Thanks.
