Can’t you just do /home/*? This will kick off a separate backp for every file and directory in /home… but you can limit the jobs per policy to 3, and that
would only allow three active jobs at a time… Just a thought.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Selection List Break Up
I do the same thing: Create a policy with ALD and exclude everything you've created separate policies/file selections for.
We actually do this more often than I'd like, but it does seem to work out very well.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Selection List Break Up

The way that I have come up with that is to create a second "catch all" policy.
In your case "/home " would be the backup selection list, in tandem with an exclude list of the three entries that you have specified.
Interested in any reactions…

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Selection List Break Up
I’m trying to break up the backups of a certain large folder via selection list and I want to make sure I get everything.
Client: Solaris 10 x86 running NBU 6.5.6
Master/Media: Windows 2003 running NBU 6.5.6
So far I’ve got:
/home/[a-nA-N]*
/home/[o-zO-Z]*
/home/[0-9]*
What about special files and folders that start with special characters? Is there a nice easy pattern I can tack onto this to pick up everything else? For some reason Mr. Google isn’t being very
helpful in this regard this morning, and Pg. 630 of the Windows Admin guide doesn’t provide much detail either.
Thanks,
-Jonathan
