Exludes Lsit Aobut /Tmp & /Proc
Hello,
We have excluded few directories like /tmp/ and /proc/ from the backup for few clients. The exludes are mentioned on the client, not policy or scheduled wise(its irrelevant anywas).
My question is: From what I know is, if the policy does not have this "cross mount point" CHECKED, then /tmp and /proc are exluded from the backup anyways?
Can someone please confirm me this, and how sure are you. no guesses or anything please? :|
or are there any other parameters aswell for this checking?
but this confirms what you are seeing (from both of the T/N's I quoted earlier)
proc (UNIX/Linux platforms; does not exclude automatically for AIX, so /proc must be added manually to exclude list. If not added manually, partially successful backups may result when using the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive on AIX)
Altho' it also says:
tmpfs (Linux)
Which indicates to me this isn't the default for anything other than Linux - so maybe I've been living a lie all these years!
