backups?

We are backing up a NetApp 940 and 3050 with OnTAP 7.0.5 and the onlything you can do is add to the Application Information field in theclient's configuration in Networker the EXCLUDE variable, which willtell the filer's dump command to ignore all files with that regularexpression. I couldn't find a way to specify a directory or volume. Thislimitation comes from OnTAP's dump command and has nothing to do withNetworker.

Something I noticed a while ago is if you set the NDMP version to 4

"ndmpd

verion 4" on the filer, specifying saveset All works, which wasn't the

case previously. I try to avoid using anything else than "All", since

it

requires the server/backup admin to keep track of file system changes

on

the client.

Yes, I also don't like to have specific save sets as well. In mycase, I need to exclude /vol/luns (which has iSCSCI targets). As you may


recall, excluding files with NDMP is not trivial as with .nsr files.
