How to skip a directory excluding a subdirectory?

[Maaak]

Hello everybody,

I backup a windows client with saveset "all" and now I need a directive for this case:
Skip a whole filesystem (g:\) but one subdirectory (g:\backup).
NetWorker Server is 7.2

Something like
<< "g:\" >>
+skip: *
notskip: backup

Is this possible or do I need to add a second client entry with saveset g:\backup?

I read about always but I still want to have the schedule been used (and not a full backup everyday of g:\backup)

Kind regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,

I am not sure if i got your question right but try to use the following:

1. If you want to skip G:\ but take backup of G:\backup

<< G:\ >>
always: G:\backup
+skip: .


or

<< G:\ >>
+skip: .
<< G:\backup >>
forget

2. If you want to backup G:\ and skip G:\backup then

<< G:\backup >>
+skip: .

Hope this helps.

Regards

Thanks for your supply!

I try your first proposal because at the second one, Networker shouldn't backup anything because the skip is global (Networker: "I skip G:\ and do nothing more with that filesystem").

But one question to "always": doesn't that have the result, that G:\backup will be a full backup everytime the savegroup runs? That would be something I don't want because of to much data.
