[Veritas-bu] exclude list

To be honest, I don't know.

I suspect you can't exclude raw devices.

One easy way around this, since the "71" error is per image set, ie: per
stream, is to put a dummy file in the set that has the raw devices, then
run the include list against every server.  That guarentees that every
set has at least one valid file in it.

For example:

            /backup/archive_log_bk
            /backup/control
            NEW_STREAM
            /u03
            /u08
            /u07
            NEW_STREAM
                /etc/passwd
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:a,raw
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:b,raw
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:d,raw
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:e,raw


 ...the /etc/passwd is always there and will keep the 71 from happening.

Has anyone seen exclude lists not excluding files for raw partitions?

I am running NB5.1 MP4 on solaris systems. I have a policy with a load
of raw partitions in the form :-

            /backup/archive_log_bk
            /backup/control
            NEW_STREAM
            /u03
            /u08
            /u07
            NEW_STREAM
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:a,raw
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:b,raw
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:d,raw
            /devices/pseudo/mplb@0:e,raw


Now i have 3 clients in the policy to make things easier with scheduling
( as this is a database policy ), but 2 of the machines dont have the
raw devices on them so i put an exclude_list.<policyname> on each client
without the raw partitions and added them in as they are in the file
list on the policy.

When backups run there are loads of status 71  ( none of files in file
list exist ) for the raw partitions on the clients i know dont have
them. Why is this?

Cheers
