Oh - another idea?  Is the directory under /opt a link?
 
ls -ld /opt/<skippped name>
 
Netbackup does not follow links.
 
My thinking this is an error in perception, rather than a technical problem.  Your use of the word "folder" rather than "directory" for solaris makes me think you are perhaps a Windows person with Unix as your second language?

Thanks for the response..  

On the Solaris server it is skipping a folder under the /opt directory. There are 15 - 20 other folders under /opt that are backing
up just fine. I changed permission on the folder that is getting skipped to 777 and it still ignores it.

On one of the windows server I found ( but not fully researched) it skips everything under the root folders of local E:\ drive. It creates
the folders but skips every thing under..... this could be something else.. The Solaris server makes no sense as I can do a
selective backup of just that directory and it backs everything up. When I do ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES it has the problem.

There's two obvious things to check.
 
"Local drives" means local - it's not crossing network mounts  - check for that.
 
exclusion lists in /usr/openv/netbackup, "exclude_list*"
 
how are you doing a "selective backup"?

Re: [Veritas-bu] folders & files not backing up



I'm running Netbackup Enterprise 6.5.1 under Solaris 10.  Recently I found a folder and every folder & file under it, is not backing up.

I using ALL_LOCAL_ DRIVES for the selection lists. Also I just found a windows server that also is missing folders & files from backups.


On the Solaris server, if I do a selective directory backup of the missing folder(s), it works. Any ideas. This has me worried...
