Bill,

You don't say what you've tried, so maybe I'm going all over the place
on this, but if you put the following in a directive you assign to these
clients or put it in the /.nsr file on the client, it should work:

<< / >>
    +skip: vicep*

I am backing up several afs file servers. In their / partition, they

vicep that I want to exclude from the backups.
I want to use wildcards to say ignore any file/directory whose name
starts with vicep in the / directory.
Preliminary attempts at this didn't do as I expected. Is it me, or is
this a harder problem that it looks at first glance.

I'm currently running 7.1 on solaris servers.

Sorry, I probably didn't explain myself very well. these are mountedpartitions, so I don't think this will work. Can i tell networker toskip a partition based on its name ? OK, so I can do this by scriptingthe whole thing myself and doing a for ptn in fstab entry; do

if $ptn doesn't match vicep {save ....}

can I do this within networkers schedulling though, without scriptingthe whole thing myself ?
