Well, yes similar, remember its done from the NT GUI. When you open it up
you will see the Exclude tab, Include tab, Servers, etc.
>>if I exclude a directory locally but files in that directory are

No they will not get backed up (at least they shouldn't, I'm fighting an NT
3.4 exclude problem right now as a matter of fact).
For instance, one of my clients has a HUGE directory on one of their data
servers, it is so large that we have to 'chunk' it up into multiple streams
(NEW_STREAM, etc.). That works just fine, however, when the Normal class
does the "regular" backups, it is supposed to exclude that HUGE directory.
Unfortunately for me and my client it isn't working that way, which is a bit
troublesome.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Schedule specific file exclusions
Hello David
So what's the syntax for providing the class and schedule specification?
Would
it be something like:
NT-Mail.OS-Only *.nsf
The second part of the question was what the relationship between the file
specification on the master server and the include/exclude list on the
client.
That is, if I exclude a directory locally but files in that directory are
matched by the Class file specification, will it get backed up? I get the
impression that the class file specification is more for multi-streaming
definition than for file exclusion.

The exclude and include lists are now held in the NT registry. This needs
to be modified either on the local machine using the Netbackup User
Interface or from an NT Administrative client machine.
In either case, you supply the class name and or schedule for the exclude
list (supplying none will make the exclude global for all NBU classes).
Next you will supply the list you wish to exclude. The manual does give you
valid NT wild cards and examples you can use. However, if you want to
exclude just the *.nsf files, then simply put that in the file list for any
*nsf files.
I don't think I understand the second part of your question.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Schedule specific file exclusions
Hello
OK, I can't quite figure this one out. I have NT based mail servers
running
Lotus notes, I'd like to set up schedules that would back up everything
except
the *.nsf files which are the users mail folders and I'd like to set up a
schedule that only backs up the *.nsf files so that I can direct the backups
to
different volume pools with different retention periods. The class and
schedule specific instructions in the Administrators Guide seems to be for
Unix
clients where simply creating files named
/usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.CLASS.SCHEDULE suffices. How would this
be
done in Windows NT or Windows 2000?
Also, the manual is quite clear that files in the client's local inclusion
list
gets added back in even if excluded by the client's local exclusion list.
How
do these two lists relate with the Files specification on the class? Can
file
exclusions be specified in the class Files specification?
