I wouldn't and don't exclude them.

What if one of the images gets corrupted or deleted on accident.  You can do
a simple restore to recover that (those) files.  That's a whole lot better
than doing a db recovery from tape, because you don't have an option as to
what image you want to recover, it recovers the entire imageDB.

Just my two cents.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] daily backups and catalogue backups


Hi,

I currently have a UNIX backup that runs every night. I did not exclude
/usr/openv/netbackup/db,  /usr/openv/volmgr/database and  /usr/openv/var.

I'm guessing that i can exclude the those files as long as i do a
catalogue backup after.

Is this a good idea?

Karl
