All,
Guess it was late last night when I posted this. I forgot that running a
manual "savegrp" command on the nsrhost (instead of letting nsrd fire it
off) doesn't, by default, use the client's specified directives -- hence
the reason my oradata/ directories were backed up. I just tested this
directive on another server, and it works fine for skipping (at any level,
on the same filesystem or not) all directories called "oradata".
<< / >>
+skip: oradata

Phillip,
I have run into the same issue and can not find any good documentation for
skipping an entire directory. However I have come up with the following
This works good for skipping and entire directory on a *NIX server.
<< /path/to/oradata >>
+skip: *.*
The downside, having to create this line for each directory you want backed
up. The up side, it actually works.
Also here is and example I used for windows:
<< "D:\program files\mssql\data\" >>
+skip: *.*
You get the idea.
Hope this helps some.

Subject: [Networker] directive question: skipping all "oradata" dirs on any
filesystem
All,
I've searched the archives of this list for help already and read the man
pages on uasm and nsr_directive, but, finding nothing that answered my
question, I'm relegated to posting here (and resulting jeering from the
audience, maybe. :-)
For a given UNIX client, I wish to skip from any filesystem the contents of
any directory called "oradata" at any level. While logic would tell me to
use this:
<< / >>
+skip: oradata
I'm seeing lots of hefty ./oradata/filename.dbf files being backed up,
which
tells me this isn't working.
Since it's also occurred to me that what we're *really* trying to do is
avoid backing up active *.dbf files anyway, I could use
<< / >>
+skip: *.dbf
but I'd like comments nonetheless. TIA, -ty
