Here's my list:
/cdrom/
/a/
/b/
/backup/
/var/tmp
/var/log
/var/adm
/etc/mnttab
/proc/
/tmp/
lost+found/
/home/*/.netscape/cache*
#
core
*.core
core.*
a.out
## Oracle Exclusions - Start
*.dbf
*.arc
*.arc.gz
*.arc.Z
/?01/app/oracle/admin/*/cdump
/?01/app/oracle/admin/*/[ub]dump/*.trc
## Oracle Exclusions - End
Note, where I have Oracle databases, this is a "exclude_list.<unix_class>"
file - there's no value in accidentally backing up open oracle files but you
also wouldn't want to exclude the DB files in a DB backup.
Linux boxen might also want to exclude "/mnt" since that's where most
removable media mounts.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] What Un*x directories do people skip on clients?
Given that NBU 3.4 doesn't do bare metal recovery, and instead requires that
you manually re-install your OS, what directories do most people put in
their exclude lists?
I've thought of the following already for my Solaris 2.6 systems:
/proc
/tmp
/cdrom
/home (we put home directories elsewhere), /net/vol, and /xfn. Do
other people have favorites? How about /dev, /devices, /kernel, and /vol? I
just don't want to bother backing up stuff that I wouldn't want to restore!
Thanks for any suggestions.
