Re: [Veritas-bu] Quick Question

I use scripts to push out my windows exclude lists. (I'm using NBU 5.1currently). I found a script by an old co-worker of mine at CollectiveTechnologies for pushing out exclude lists for UNIX clients and modifiedit so it works with windows.


Attached is gen_excludes-windows which I run at a regular interval.

I keep all my exclude lists in /usr/openv/etc/exclude_lists-windows

I have a file named exclude.skel in that directory with:

Exclude = C:\Temp
Exclude = C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\*.lock
Exclude = C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bprd.d\*.lock
Exclude = C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\*.lock
Exclude = C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\misc\*

Exclude = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Network\downloader\*


(That needs to be one line)

If I have a special exclude list (and I do for all my systems) then Icreate a file in that same directory with the name of the server. Insidethe file is a list of things to exclude. Here is an example:



exael:

Exclude = X:\Shares
Exclude = X:\file-sync
Exclude = D:\
Exclude = P:\
Exclude = E:\
Exclude = C:\

For windows clients, you must use the registry, or netbackup GUI

If I wanted to do this on a windows box how can I do that?

Best regards,

Yes, creating the file /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list will work, butit affects all backups done on that client


Better to create /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.[policy name]
