Phillip,

I have run into the same issue and can not find any good documentation for
skipping an entire directory.  However I have come up with the following

This works good for skipping and entire directory on a *NIX server.
<< /path/to/oradata >>
        +skip: *.*

The downside, having to create this line for each directory you want backed
up.  The up side, it actually works.

Also here is and example I used for windows:

<< "D:\program files\mssql\data\" >>
        +skip: *.*

You get the idea.

Hope this helps some.

Subject: [Networker] directive question: skipping all "oradata" dirs on any
filesystem

All,

I've searched the archives of this list for help already and read the man
pages on uasm and nsr_directive, but, finding nothing that answered my
question, I'm relegated to posting here (and resulting jeering from the
audience, maybe.  :-)

For a given UNIX client, I wish to skip from any filesystem the contents of
any directory called "oradata" at any level.  While logic would tell me to
use this:

<< / >>
       +skip:  oradata

I'm seeing lots of hefty ./oradata/filename.dbf files being backed up, which
tells me this isn't working.

Since it's also occurred to me that what we're *really* trying to do is
avoid backing up active *.dbf files anyway, I could use

<< / >>
      +skip: *.dbf

but I'd like comments nonetheless.  TIA, -ty
