I haven't found that v4.5 didn't exclude on multi-streams.  I have had
trouble using combination include/exclude lists for multi-streams, though.

NB v4.5 did require that everything in the exclude list be an absolute
pathname, ie "/dir/dir2/dir3/*.dbf" rather than a simpler "*.dbf" entry.
Other than that, I never noticed this symptom.

(the change to require absolute paths [yes it was deliberate - and a real
usability problem, IMO] lead to exclude files like:

/*/*/*.dbf
/*/*/*/*.dbf
/*/*/*/*/*.dbf
/*/*/*/*/*/*.dbf 

..on some of my larger filers that host many database instances)

They thankfully put back the previous behavior in v5.x.

What version are you running? I have found that in 4.5, if you have multiple
streams enabled in the attributes tab of the policy it will ignore exclude
lists.  multiplexing is okay.

Hi,

    Policy name  is   UAE_EBI_DEV_HRMS_INST01_FS01_Special
    Schedule name  is  tibco1

I have created bpbkar file on the client   .  It was able to read the file
as I could see in the log file .However it was not excluded . 


Here is the log file:-

Hi

What is your policy name and schedule name?

exclude list needs to be in the following format:
exclude_list.policy_name.schedule_name

NetBackup interprets your file name
exclude_list.UAE_EBI_DEV_HRMS_INST01_FS01_Special.tibco1 
as:
Policy : UAE_EBI_DEV_HRMS_INST01_FS01_Special
Schedule : ibco1

Therefore, if you policy name is
UAE_EBI_DEV_HRMS_INST01_FS01_Special.tibco1, NetBackup will not apply the
exclude list. 

Hope this helps! (If it doesn't, create bpbkar log on the client and see how
it reads and interprets the exclude list).

Regards

Marianne

Hi,

  I have excluded the file in one of the unix client .However those files
were backed up. Any help  would be greatly appreciated .

Here is the exclude_list



# cat exclude_list.UAE_EBI_DEV_HRMS_INST01_FS01_Special.tibco1
