Re: [Veritas-bu] include

With / as backup selection and follow nfs enabled, using an exclude list on each server you don't want to back it up on will work, thats what we did before using ndmp.

The share is actually on an EMC Celerra device. I suppose I could do a NDMP backup but I was looking for other options.

Thanks for your response.

You need the path (or a path above it) in your backup selections.

the exclude_list will prevent it from being backed up, and the include_list will override a subset of what is excluded in the exclude_list.

if it's not in the "backup selections" it won't get backed up, period.

However.....why back up an NFS share like that anyway?
Do you not backup the server that is hosting the share

Subject: [Veritas-bu] include_list question

I have my media & master servers in a single policy. This policy is setup to follow nfs mount points, and each server in the policy has the same nfs mount point mounted.

I'm trying to have the backup that runs on my master server to be the only backup for the nfs share. I've built an include_list file on my master server with the nfs mount point listed in it; however, I don't have the nfs mount point listed in my backup selections on my policy.

The result is that it's not backing up the nfs share. Do I have to have the nfs share listed in my backup selections in conjunction with the include_list file?

The other way I've though about doing this is puting the nfs share in an exclude_list on each of the servers that I don't want the share backed up on.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
