Exclude List Properties
Hi,
I read the Symantec NBU Administrator Guide, vol1 : Windows regarding how to exlude list.
My client asks me NOT to backup several extension.
Is it possible in the Client Properties > Windows Client > Exclude Lists ; when click on the button "Add" to put several extensions on the Files/Directories field ?
For example :
*.mdb,*.ldb,*.ss, *ndf
Or should I create each exclude list for each extension ?
The current Backup Version is 7.0.1 (soon be upgraded) --> does it support the win 2012 ? (don't think so, but wanna confirm that)
At last, I am not an expert of SQL at all, but why is it not recommended to backup these files ?
Thank you for your replies !
Lanira.
Your exclude list is 100% fine. We do something similar for most of our customers.
NBU 7.5.0.6 and NBU 7.6.0.x supports W2012. See OS CL: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76648
No file-level backup of online, running databases should be done. In file-level form, the backup will be inconsistent and will result in db unable to start if restored.
The database built-in backup utilities must be used to perform online, hot backup of databases.
Using the NBU for SQL agent is recommended as this provides one-step backup and restore.
Alternatively use built-in SQL backup utility to backup to disk, and then use NBU MS-Windows policy to backup these backup files (two-step backup and restore).
