Exclude files from Master Server of Linux Clients of One Policy?
Hi
Netbackup 7.6.0.4 master server on Suse Linux
One Policy North Branches (containing 9 Linux clients )
want to exclude .evolution file from all these 9 clients of this particular policy from Master server , either from GUI or from command
How can i do it?
i have checked https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH73478
http://www.veritas.com/docs/000026772
but these links saying that we have to make a exclude list file on each client.
Can't we do it from master server
No, exclusions are not 'established' via a master server setting.
Exclusions are a 'client' configuration item/property.
However, you can use a master to 'push' (bpsetconfig) exclusion lists to clients - i.e. you should not have to logon to each client to edit its exclusion list/file.
You can then 'pull/copy/view' (bpgetconfig) the exclusion list from a client to check it/them.
.
Tip: The methods for 'managing' exclusions are different between Windows and Unix/Linux clients.
For Windows clients it is easiest to use the GUI. But you can use CLI too, i.e. bpgetconfig/bpsetconfig.
For Unix cliets, there is no GUI option, you must use bpgetconfig/bpsetconfig.
The syntax AND method for using bpgetconfig and bpsetconfig - for managing exclusions - is different between Windows and Unix.
Download and read the commands reference guide.
See the examples in this tech note:
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH66046
To exclude ALL files with a .evolution extension put
*.evolution
In the exclude list
1) Create a file of exclusions on the master, named: my-exclusions.txt
2) Send/push the list to a client using: bpsetconfig -h myclient -e my-exclusions.txt
3) Do not do this: bpgetconfig -h anotherclient -e my-exclusions.txt
...because this will overwrite the file "my-exclusions.txt" with the exclusions from "anotherclient", which may itself be empty
4) Did you not have time to download and read the manual sections for these two commands?
