You can even put oradata as the only entry in the exclude_list file with NO
/ and NO *.  This will work amazingly well especially for an OFA compliant
setup.  Don't forget, that if you only exclude *.dbf, that it will also try
to back up the active control files and redo logs.

 /oradata/*.dbf will exclude all .dbf files under the /oradata dir,
wherever they are under. NetBackup always recurses in include and
exclude lists.
