About excluding Exchange items from backups

If you do not want to back up certain databases, you can create an exclude list. When NetBackup runs a NetBackup for Exchange backup policy, NetBackup ignores the items that appear in the exclude list.

For more information on how to create an exclude list see one of the following:

NetBackup excludes certain files and directories by default. These default exclusions always appear in the exclude list.

You can exclude specific databases from a backup, both for the databases that exist in a DAG or on a standalone Exchange server. You can specify the exclude list for all policies or for a specific policy or schedule.

Table: Example Exchange entries in an exclude list provides an example of the Exchange entries that you can add to an exclude list.
