I set them all up as new streams. (But
doing that I will not catch any new directories they may create)
Last night all my jobs that had the >
in the path to backup failed, and said no files exist.
I will have to get creative on the selection
process to get the dirs.
I am going to try the suggestion from Donaldson
to get my alpha list working.

Directories starting with > are a bit strange even on Mac
OS X / Darwin: that's something your users have done for whatever reason.
That said, is there something wrong in not bothering with
the NEW_STREAM directive, flipping on multiple streams, and limiting the number
that actually stream to tape simultaneously by the number of jobs on that
policy? Sure, that'll queue up more child jobs than your way, but why does
that really matter?

They have asked me
to backup the above dirs.
On AIX I would not
have a dir that started with ~ or >
The above is about
400 gig, and I want to break it into smaller jobs.
Normaly I would do
that with
New stream
/mydir/a*
/mydir/b*
/mydir/c*
New stream
/mydir/d*
/mydir/e*
/mydir/f
But looking at the
names of these dirs with the ~ and > I don’t think I will get
them.
Can someone else who
knows MAC explain to me what the ~ and > are and how you would break
up the backup into smaller jobs?
