I don't have an environment that I can test this on right now but you might try excluding everthing then including back in the "*.pst" files afterward, ie:
$cat /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.policyname / $cat /usr/openv/netbackup/include_list.policyname *.pst ...might work... Otherwise you could use "find" to create an include list every day... find /mntpoint -type f -name "*.pst" >/tmp/include.me bpplinclude policyname -l | sed s/^INCLUDE *// >/tmp/remove.me bpplinclude policyname -delete -f /tmp/remove.me bpplinclude policyname -add -f /tmp/include.me nbpemreq -updatepolicies ...the second is a bit kludgy but it should work... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of schomakw Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 11:34 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] cron script doing global search to backup specificfiles I am runing NetBackup Enterprise Server, V6.0 MP5. I am looking for linux scripts which I can run in cron that would do a global search on a volume/mount point and backup specific files (in this case *.pst) regardless of where they are in the directory structure. I know I can use wildcards for filenames but have not figured out how to do this for directories. OR Is there an undocumented way to do this in the Administrator GUI using the "Backup Selections" window?
