Hello Everyone,
I'm going absolutely mental here because I feel like I have used every logical approach to get this working.
We're using LTO2 to perform full backups on our environment on backup exec 12.5. We recently migrated our fileserver to a netapp however since compression does not work at all te volume is far too big to fit on tape so I wanted to backup specific dirs on the netapp.
Here comes the problem, I can't seem to have these specific dirs backed up when using include/exclude and instead it backs up the entire volume every time.
Here's what I tried so far.
includes:
- create job
- go to include/exclude
- select ndmp
- navigate to dir on netapp volume
- tick include
- apply
When I go to view selections it's listed as:
//ip/vol/volumename/dirname1/*
//ip/vol/volumename/dirname2/*
submit, backs up the entire volume.
excludes:
- create job
- go to include/exclude
- select ndmp
- navigate to volume on netapp
- tick exclude
- type in dirname in pattern
- apply
When I go to selections it's listed as:
//ip/vol/volumename/*
//ip/vol/volumename/dirname1 /EXCLUDE
//ip/vol/volumename/dirname2 /EXCLUDE
//ip/vol/volumename/dirname3 /EXCLUDE
submit, backs up entire volume.
So what am I missing here? I'm kinda going insain here since we just migrated our fileserver to a filer and now I don't have a way to perform full backups selectively on the filer.
