Can we configure to have the client-file indexes save to a storage node
other than NetWorker server.
Do we just change the target storage node for the networker server to be
some other storage node ?

Thanks - John

Subject: [Networker] What's wrong with my SKIP directive?


I have a 1.4TB filesystem with several large subdirectories
and lots of smaller subdirectories. I split off the 4 large
subdirectories into their own client/group, and in the top level
directory backup placed the following directive to ignore the 4 large
subdirectories.

The root directory is /vol/vol0/home/buildusr:

I first tried the following, per the NW documentation, which didn't work
- i.e., everything was backed up:

   directive:\
   "<< /vol/vol0/home/buildusr >>
         skip: builds
         skip: distributions
         skip: distributions-test
         skip: shipments";

Then, after reading suggestions from the Networker archives I tried
this, which doesn't appear to work either:

   directive:\
   "<< /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/builds >>
         skip:  * .?*
   << /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/distributions >>
         skip:  * .?*
   << /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/distributions-test >>
         skip:  * .?*
   << /vol/vol0/home/buildusr/shipments >>
         skip   * .?*";


What am I doing wrong? What's the right way to ignore/skip backing up
these 4 directories?
