NDMP Backup of DELL FS8600 - Backup Exec 15

Hi,

We have a DELL FS8600 NAS which we are attempting to backup to tape using NDMP. From the BE15 server, I can see the NAS and volumes but there are no subdirectories listed below the volume - after some reading, this seems to be fairly common with NDMP.

Essentially the 'volume' is full of folders named after the year of their contents (eg. \1999\, \2005\ etc..).

I am trying to figure out how I could specify only a single folder at a time - the volume contains around 30 folders.

After selecting the volume in Backup Selection and clicking Modify, the only options available to configure are:

  • Path
  • Tag as Business Critical (tickbox)
  • EXCLUDE

I have done some reading but can't really understand how to exclude all but a single folder (eg. Exclude all subfolders EXCEPT 2016). But I also cannot tell if this is even possible with the particular NAS/NDMP implementation.

Could someone help with this or at least point me in the right direction to get this going?

Thanks in advance,

Luke
