Hello,

Has anyone had any success with excluding sub directories of paths with
NetApp NDMP backups?

I.E

SET EXCLUDE = A/B 
/vol/vol1

Thanks

How to exclude files and directories from NDMP backups 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Details:
To exclude files on NetApp when using NetBackup with Network Data
Management Protocol (NDMP), use an entry in the file list that sets the
EXCLUDE NDMP environmental variable. 

For example:  To exclude a directory named /vol/vol1/A, but to dump the
rest of the volume, create a NetBackup class file list which would look
like this: 
SET EXCLUDE = A 
/vol/vol1 

To exclude multiple files or directories use commas to delimit the
field: 
SET EXCLUDE = A,B,C 
/vol/vol1 

The rules are stated as being the same as they are for native dump
commands. 
The exclude list is specified relative to the dump path. If a directory
name or file name contains a space, enclose the string in quotes: 
SET EXCLUDE = 'file with space in name' 
/vol/volx 

Wild cards are not supported so excluding specific file extensions is
not supported.  

Refer to the Ontap manuals for DUMP for more information.
