I seem to be having some serious problems getting flexbackup to exclude the directories I have in my prune list.
I have as machine with several others mounted in /mnt and am trying to backup the important data on them to tape. My setup looks like... $set{'local'} = "/"; $set{'cxaa'} = "/mnt/cxaa"; $set{'xacom4'} = "/mnt/xacom4"; $set{'xacomfs1'} = "/mnt/xacomfs1"; where local basically gets everything and the others should let me chose an individual machine if I want to go that way. The prunes are as follows... $prune{'/'} = "tmp proc var bin sbin lib dev usr 'lost+found'"; $prune{'/mnt/cxaa'} = "mnt tmp proc tapedir var bin sbin xemacs lib dev cdrom"; $prune{'/mnt/cxaa/usr'} = "tmp lib bin sbin spol test local diag hung"; $prune{'/mnt/xacom4'} = "mnt tmp proc var bin sbin lib dev cdrom install ibin"; $prune{'/mnt/xacom4/usr'} = "tmp bin sbin lib local man fmc2 lpd lbin"; $prune{'/mnt/xacomfs1'} = "tmp registry backups"; $prune{'/mnt/xacomfs1/documents'} = "'1-to review then delete' Temp 'Temporary Transfer Location' Testing VET 'WInzip 8.0' 'Social Events' Year2000 teemp Logs Projects_Backup"; As I understand it, this should remove the directories mentioned here from the list.. however.. when I do a flexbackup -set local I get ./var, ./lost+found, ./usr etc etc.. in the list of files being backed up. What do I have wrong?? Thanks. Peter Nunn. -- Use Computes?.... ...Think IT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
