NetBackup Exclude List

Hi 

I have 4 different servers on which symantec net backup is installed . I need to exclude *.trn  from all these four netbackup client properties. Now i do not want to manually enter all these servers and exclude those from the list individually. can i do it using one server only for all 4 servers?

 

  • Exclude List is saved in the registry of each NBU Windows client and in text file on Unix/Linux clients.

    So, you need to add Exclude List to each client.

  • If you dont want to go to each server and do it, you can do it in the host properties of each client from Netbackup admin console.

  • SymGuy-IT,

    Unless something changed, that only works for Windows clients.  On a UNIX/Linux host you still have to edit the exclude_list on each one.

  • It hasn't changed but the requester has mentioned the OS as Windows so I gave Windows specific answer. But point to be noted.
