Windows - includes/excludes
Good morning!
Here is what I am looking to do:
- Exclude everything on a windows host
- Include the C:\ drive and E:\backup folder
- Also get the system state/shadow copy
Here is what I have done:
exclude: ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES
include: C:\, E:\backup
...but then I started thinking... if I do it this way, will I still get the system state/shadow copy? Or, because of the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, will it be excluded?
I've got a while before this runs, so just wanted to ask first...
Thanks in advance!
(Running Netbackup 7.1.0.3 currently... yes, I know we need to upgrade...)
Spitman,
i have never got a situation to keep the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES in exclude list and keep the required once in include list... since i belive its not a best practice.
exclude and include list does not have the direct visiblity in the policy configuration and over the period of time it will become complex to answer the question " why this file is not being backup" by the user.
if you want you can try with the idea that you have.. but as suggested its 100% good idea to go with the specific policy.
