Dave,
Thanks for the note -- normally I find that the "special" things
such as /tmp, /cdrom etc are automatically excluded (and I guess
/etc/mnttab will be when Veritas update the relevant switch () {}
statement somewhere in the code!).
Anyway, I'm wary of features such as exclude lists since
I prefer "zero admin" solutions that would, in this case, waste
a small amount of tape (cheap) rather than someone's time (expensive)
to plan, approve, implement and document the change.
... 'sides, it's another opportunity for "finger trouble"
where someone could type:
/etc
/mnttab
instead of:
/etc/mnttab
(i.e. skip the whole of /etc (plus the (non-existent) file /mnttab)).
Seems to me that backing up (some) stuff you don't need to is less
"career-limiting" than NOT backing up stuff you meant to!
Cheers,
Richard.
