Example 2 - Path Not Present on All Clients or Wrong Path Specified
Assume the file list contains a path named
\worklist
that is not present on
all clients. Here, NetBackup backs up
\worklist
on the clients where it exists.
For other clients, the Backup Problems or All Log Entries report shows a
message similar to the following:
02/02/99 21:46:56 carrot freddie from client freddie: TRV - cannot
process path \worklist: No such file or directory. Skipping
This message would also occur if
\worklist
were not the correct path name.
For example, if the directory name is
\worklists
but you typed
\worklist
.
Note:
If the paths seem correct and the message still appears, ensure there are
no trailing spaces in the paths.
File-Path Rules for Windows NT, 98, and 95 Clients
The following describes the conventions to use when specifying backups for
Windows NT clients.
File Backups
• Enter one pathname per line.
• Start all pathnames with the drive letter followed by a colon (:) and a
backslash (\). The drive letter can be either upper or lower case.
c:\
• Precede each component in the path with a backslash.
If the last component in the path is a directory, also follow it with a
backslash (\). The trailing backslash is not required but serves as a
reminder that the file path is a directory instead of a file.
c:\users\net1\
If the last component is a file, include the file extension and omit the
backslash from the end of the name.
c:\special\list.txt
