I have a RHEL client running SP v7.1.6.2 to a SP server running 8.1.0.0.
On my RHEL client it was initially backing up a tmp folder with tons of junk files. I added the following command to stop it from backing up this folder:
The folder is no longer being backed up, but when I query the backups from the client for this folder I see a lot of Active files for this folder. Shouldn't it have expired (marked inactive) all of the existing previous backups of this folder as soon as the first backup ran with the new exclusion statement in the DSM.SYS file?
Here is the output from the query:
dsmc q b -ina "/xyzdata/*"
