File and directory exclusion statements

In the policy's Backup Selections list, file and directory exclusion statements can be used with the set directive. The statements are namedEMC_EFILE[01-05] for file exclusion, and EMC_EDIR[01-05] for directory exclusion, in the following form (see examples below):

set EMC_EFILExx=file_exlusion_statement
set EMC_EDIRxx=/directory_exlusion_statement

where xx is a two-digit number. For restrictions in the use of these statements and other details such as the use of wildcards, refer to the Celerra Network Server Version 5.5 Documentation CD.

In the following examples of file and directory exclude statements in a NetBackup Backup selections list, the backup of /fs2 will not include the files and directories specified by the EMC_EDIR and EMC_EFILE statements:

set HIST=y
set TYPE=tar
set EMC_EDIR01=/fs2/l*
set EMC_EDIR02=/fs2/Ndmp*
set EMC_EDIR03=/fs2/NAS*
set EMC_EDIR05=/fs2/j*
set EMC_EFILE01=*tar
set EMC_EFILE03=*dat
set EMC_EFILE02=*dat
set EMC_EDIR04=/fs2/Millions
set UPDATE=y
/fs2
