• End a file path with \ to exclude only directories with that path name (for
example,
C:\users\test\
). If the pattern does not end in \ (for example,
C:\users\test
), NetBackup excludes both files and directories with that
path name.
• To exclude all files with a given name, regardless of their directory path,
just enter the name. For example:
test
rather than
C:\test
This is equivalent to prefixing the file pattern with
\
\*\
\*\*\
\*\*\*\
and so on.
The following syntax rules apply only to UNIX clients:
• Do not use patterns with links in the names. For example, assume
/home
is
a link to
/usr/home
and
/home/doc
is in the exclude list. The file is still
backed up in this case because the actual directory path,
/usr/home/doc
,
does not match the exclude list entry,
/home/doc
.
• Blank lines or lines beginning with a pound sign (#) are ignored.
Example of an Exclude List for a Windows NT client
If an exclude list has the following entries:
C:\users\doe\john
C:\users\doe\abc\
C:\users\*\test
C:\*\temp
core
the following are excluded from automatic backups:
