I currently have several windows server backup clients that i use volume shadow to backup the data, i use a pre script that lauches the shadow and maps it to drive B on the windows box and then backuppc backups B over rsync then a post script to kill the volume shadow. What i would like to do is create an exclude list to only backup certain files on the volume shadow (sql dbs, exchange info, my docs etc.) but im a little confused as to how to go about it. I found the post here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08595.html where someone was able to make a filter.txt file and create the list, but that was for a linux client. How would i make a list like that for a windows client? Would i have to use paths like B:\blah or B\? or just \Documents and settings\, \program files\mssql7\ etc? Also, would it exclude everything else but whats in the file? Trying to make sure i havent duplicated anything here or have overlapping configuration.
Thanks for any advice you can give. this is the first time ive attempted to weed out files from being backed up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
