How to exclude directories for the Legato Networker backup

[xcai1]

I need to exclude some directories for the Legato Networker backup on Solaris servers. I am told that I can put the directories in the file: /usr/local/nsr/cores/nsrexecd/.nsr. What is the format? I put them as: skip /home/users/PDF, but didn't work.

Have you tried creating a directive to use for exclusion?

Like whitey said, you should use server based directives over client based, much easier to control. In nw admin, create a new Directive, name in to whatever you want. Then specify path where you want the directive to start, / is the root on both Windows and Unix. If you want to exclude all directories named PDF then use +skip instead of skip, as + traverses the filsystem. If you want to exclude just one PDF dir, then use that path between << >> instead of /. If it´s directories you want to exclude make sure you add all possible cases of the dir name, as "PDF" and "pdf" are not treated as the same name.

<< / >>
+skip: PDF pdf Pdf

If instead you want to skip all pdf FILES, you must use this:

<< / >>
+skip: *.pdf

Then just edit the client resources and select the new directive. Hope it helps!

Cheers!

And don't forget the spaces after << and before >> like this:

<< / >> not like this <</>>
