I've had to do what you did with the Windows policies. Unfortunately, Unix
has much better pattern matching than Windows, so you are stuck with the
way you mentioned.
Includes and excludes are in the registry on Windows. You could still
accomplish your goal by creating a .reg file to import your changes, but
unless you are making a lot of these policies continuously, it's probably
quicker just to manually create them.
You can copy/paste the first entry and then edit that line each time, or
use something like notepad or excel to create the file list and edit to
your liking. Once that's done you can copy/paste each line into the
policy. It's going to be a pain any way you look at it, but hopefully you
aren't going to be changing things once they are setup.
One recommendation I have is to create separate policies for each group of
files instead of a single policy with multiple streams. If one of the
streams fails, you or the monitoring admins have to restart the job which
in turn starts all the streams. The streams that did not fail have to be
manually killed creating false failures.
Hope this helps,
Rusty

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU pattern matching
Hi all,
NBU5.0mp3 on Solaris 9.
I'm having a difficult time setting up a Policy using pattern matching so
that I can chop up large file systems into multiple streams.
Specifically, I am trying to use [a-zA-Z] pattern matching arguments
against a Windows machine, but can't seem to make it work properly. I
have been successful using C:\a*, C:\b*, etc..., but would prefer not to
create 36 entries in the backup selections.
Another I that I thought might work is to populate the Include list
programmatically, via an LS or DIR? Does anyone know where that file
resides on a Windows box?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
