Your pattern shouldn’t have matched
the old path or the new path
/vmfs/volumes/ on both and explicit in
your selection so matches the literal.
QAVOL4/DCTZIQPVIEW02/
(old) and QAVOL3/DCTZIQPVIEW02/ (new) would match your [a-zA-Z]*/
The DCTZIQPVIEW02.vmx
at end would be matched by the *
Leaving NOTHING to
be matched by the *.vmx at the end.
However, since your
selection specifies there MUST be a *.vmx at the end the above pattern would
NOT match because it is expecting it to be AFTER the item that already has the
*.vmx in its name.
Your pattern should
be:
/vmfs/volumes/[a-zA-Z]*/*.vmx
(that is you need to. lose the middle * and /)
I suspect that if
this was working before your “old” path isn’t what you listed
but had another subdirectory before the file name.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Question
regarding (71) none of the files in the filelist exist
We use this wild card in our backup selection
/vmfs/volumes/[a-zA-Z]*/*/*.vmx to backup just the vmx files from a single ESX
host. In troubleshooting why I received this error, I learned that between the
backup window for the ESX client, an engineer deleted the original VM
(DCTZIQPVIEW02) and then re-provisioned a new VM on a different LUN using the
same server name. Anyone have a clue as to why would I get this error? I
would've thought by using the wild card that NBU wouldn't care where the file existed
from one backup to the next of a specific file.
Old
path to the file which the error 71 was generated.
/vmfs/volumes/QAVOL4/DCTZIQPVIEW02/DCTZIQPVIEW02.vmx
New
path to the file where the re-provisioned VM was created.
/vmfs/volumes/QAVOL3/DCTZIQPVIEW02/DCTZIQPVIEW02.vmx
