Re: [Veritas-bu] per-directory policies a la NetWorker?

2010-04-07 Thread Lightner, Jeff
Not quite like that.

You can create an exclude list with policy name in /usr/openv/netbackup
on target to tell that policy what to exclude though.

For example when we backup of OS files of a server we create a policy
name indicative of that such as:  BARNEY-OS
On server, barney, in /usr/openv/netbackup we create a file called
exclude_list.BARNEY-OS that contains:
/dev/odm
/cdrom
core
/tmp/*
/database
/oracle

That will exclude those items from the backup.  You could be as specific
as you want.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] per-directory policies a la NetWorker?

NetWorker has a feature where you can put a .nsr file in a  
directory, and then during backup it's contents will be parse so that  
you can treat particular files or directories in a special way. An  
example from the man page:

 Having a /usr/src/.nsr file containing:
   +skip: errs *.o
   +compressasm: .
 would cause all files (or directories) in /usr/src named errs or *.o  
 (and anything contained within them) to be skipped.  In addition,  
 all other files contained in /usr/src will be compressed during save  
 and will be set up for automatic decompression on recover.

Is there a similar feature in NetBackup 6.5 and above? I know there's  
a $HOME/bp.conf, but is there something that can be dropped in an  
arbitrary directory?

Thanks for any info.

Thanks to Jeff and Christophe. /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.*  
should be sufficient. (Though things like skip, null, logasm, and  
swapasm would be handy. Oh well.)
