In windows you can use the gui to exclude certain drives from certain
policies.  Either goto host properties --> client --> client name or use
the backup / restore gui.  Just tell it what policy (or all policies)
and which schedule (or all schedules) you want to exclude the data from
and add those drives.  That's our primary way to exclude data from
backups here such as Exchange or Oracle data drives / directories.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exclusion lists based on policy?



Is there a way to setup an exclusion list for an entire policy?
Currently we are using the directive ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES to backup our
clients. However, we'd like to exclude C:\ and system state information
as we don't perform bare metal restores in our environment, but want to
ensure we backup all the "data" drives. What makes it difficult is that
in our environment there is no standard, so one system might have only a
D:\ drive, while another system might have a D:\, E:\, and F:\ drive.
Being able to use ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and excluding C:\ and system state
would be helpful.

 

Thanks in advanced!
