Dont back it up
add it into your /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list
in the exclude_list i put:-
core
/tmp
/proc
/etc/mnttab
/cdrom

Anyone else seen this? ... Backing up a Solaris 8 client (
where /etc/mnttab is no longer a "real" file but a "magic" link to
a table in the OS kernel) using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES as the file list
spawns a job just to back up "/etc/mnttab" (Which is the only
file in the "filesystem").
... not erroneous, I guess, just a small (32 Kbyte) waste
of tape.
Spotted it 'cos a machine with two disks spawned three
backup jobs!
Cheers,
Richard.
