We are using backup exec 12.5 with NDMP server backup option. Actually we are taking backup include snapshot also but we want to exclude the snapshot folder from the backup hence we can reduce the backup data, time and tapes usage.
We have removed the snapshot folder from edit selection list of the backup job and select the volume - include /exclude - type the .snapshot . After that the include exclude list is showing like below
10.xxx.xx.xxx/folder/*
10.xxx.xx.xxx/folder/.snapshot /EXCLUDE
After modified this settings my tapes are doubled means usually daily incemental job will use 2 tapes but now 4 tapes. Symantec is saying the job excluded the snapshot folder, my concern is wheter the it is written in two time on tape?We are using backup exec 12.5 with NDMP(Netapps Filer) server backup option.
