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?
