My apologies.
It has been pointed out that I missed the first / after QAVOL3 or QAVOL4. Your selection was correct. Apparently I need new glasses - looked at it multiple times before sending. ________________________________ From: Jeff Lightner Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 1:50 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Question regarding (71) none of the files in the filelist exist Your pattern shouldn't have matched the old path or the new path /vmfs/volumes/ on both and explicit in your selection so matches the literal. QAVOL4/DCTZIQPVIEW02/ (old) and QAVOL3/DCTZIQPVIEW02/ (new) would match your [a-zA-Z]*/ The DCTZIQPVIEW02.vmx at end would be matched by the * Leaving NOTHING to be matched by the *.vmx at the end. However, since your selection specifies there MUST be a *.vmx at the end the above pattern would NOT match because it is expecting it to be AFTER the item that already has the *.vmx in its name. Your pattern should be: /vmfs/volumes/[a-zA-Z]*/*.vmx (that is you need to. lose the middle * and /) I suspect that if this was working before your "old" path isn't what you listed but had another subdirectory before the file name. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 11:59 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Question regarding (71) none of the files in the filelist exist We use this wild card in our backup selection /vmfs/volumes/[a-zA-Z]*/*/*.vmx to backup just the vmx files from a single ESX host. In troubleshooting why I received this error, I learned that between the backup window for the ESX client, an engineer deleted the original VM (DCTZIQPVIEW02) and then re-provisioned a new VM on a different LUN using the same server name. Anyone have a clue as to why would I get this error? I would've thought by using the wild card that NBU wouldn't care where the file existed from one backup to the next of a specific file. Old path to the file which the error 71 was generated. /vmfs/volumes/QAVOL4/DCTZIQPVIEW02/DCTZIQPVIEW02.vmx New path to the file where the re-provisioned VM was created. /vmfs/volumes/QAVOL3/DCTZIQPVIEW02/DCTZIQPVIEW02.vmx Own the landmark Planet Earth series on DVD!
