Hi Tim,
 
    If you use db agents to backup SQL, in the policies with A_L_D directive
you can exclude the db files that already are bckuped by db qgent.

Assunto: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6, Windows, excluding files


We are backing up some databases (SQL and SharePoint) and using agents to
backup the actual dbs and also backing up the entire systems using
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES. 
The A_L_D backup jobs meet a few open db files and can't back them up (which
is expected) and I'm wondering whether I can exclude the directories where
the dbs are stored from the policy (which is backing up A_L_D) and not
affect the agent backups. 
My guess this is as simply achieved by specifying which policy to exclude
from but just want to confirm that this won't affect the agent (db) backups.
 
What files/folders (on Windows) do people often exclude?
 
Cheers,
