Solaris client not backing up /var filesystem

[eraserhead]

brand new Solaris 8 client (5.2) brand new AIX 5.2 server (5.2), pretty much a default dsm.sys.



Since no DOMAIN is specified, shouldn't /var be a part of ALL-LOCAL and get backed up?

Check your inclexcl.def file. You might need to create one and make sure you have the following:



include *

exclude /var/tmp/.../*

exclude /tmp/.../*

exclude /kernel/genunix

exclude /devices/.../*

exclude /dev/.../*

exclude /.../core

exclude /.../TempInternetFiles/.../*

exclude /.../.ssh/*

exclude /.../.netscape/cache/.../*

exclude /mnt/.../*

exclude /cdrom/.../*



You may need to change some things if you don't use ssh or netscape. You may need to add things if you use any other product on the node that keeps temp or extraneous log files.
