Re: [Veritas-bu] FYI on File Exclude Lists

We discover this problem for over a month.

Symantec has a fix for 32 bit systems but not for 2003 64 bit

I guess that rules out backing up clusters system nodes with
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and excludes for the shard disks.

Do you have an ETrack on that I can follow the status of before I update
these clients?

I just had Symantec Support confirm that File List Exclusions broke at the
6.5.6 level of code when backing up a MS Cluster via the Virtual Client
Name.

We currently have in each clients exclude list *.mdf, *.ndf and *.ldf to
exclude all SQL database files. This would have gone un-noticed if it was
not for our DBA who created some 1.8 TB of additional SQL databases on this
specfic client of the cluster. The client was upgraded in the last month or
two to the 7.0 level. One day I happened to notice the the backup for this
client was taking longer the normal to backup. I looked into it and noticed
a ton of SQL Database files contained in the Windows based backups. Symantec
did the troubleshooting on the issue and discovered that Client side exclude
lists were OK at the 6.5.5 level of code but stopped to function when the
client was upgraded to 6.5.6. I was able to confirm that a client at 7.0 and
7.0.1 level of code also had the problem.

Just an FYI...

[Nic Solomons]

Huzzah!, someone else experiencing this...!

One of the guys I work with has had a ticket open with Symantec with this exact 
issue... Of course, they've been telling him till they're blue in the face that 
theres no problem.

Dont suppose Symantec gave you a bug track ID for this...?

Cheers,
Nic
