Display "Exceptions from Exclude List"

[Clarence]

I am running Netbackup 6.5.3 on an AIX 5.3 server.  I have login access to all UNIX clients but I don't have access to the Windows clients.  I am trying to document our environment and I would like to have a folder for each client containing the Netbackup specifics.  I know I can display it via GUI but I can't print it or capture the data there and we have nearly 400 clients so it would be very time consuming any way.  Does anyone know of another way to get this information?


I found the following command to display the "Exclude List" but it does not show the Exceptions to the Exclude List. 


/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpgetconfig -M [client name] "Exclude"

What are you referring to when you say exceptions to the exclude_list.
Do you mean files listed in the include_lists?

Actually pulling "Exclude" will only retrieve exclude information from Windows clients. You'd be better off using "-e" to grab from UNIX ones as well. Check out http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/316533.htm for more info (new for 6.5.3). Keep in mind to be thorough you'll need to loop through all configured policies and schedules that contain that client since there's no wildcard to pull all of them.

As for the other half of this info I assume you're talking about what the policies have been configured to back up - their File List or Include List.

# bppllist -byclient $CLIENT -U | egrep -i "policy name|include"

Hope that helps.

for those who wondered,
If you open up Host Properties, Clients, Windows Client, Exclude Lists
the top pane is the Exclude List and the bottom pane is the Exceptions to exclude list

command line is:
bpgetconfig -M <client> | grep Include

[Stumpr2 · Accepted solution]

on unix clients they can be found at
/usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list
/usr/openv/netbackup/include_list

An include_list entry negates the exclude_list entry
for instance if you wanted to do a full cold backup of oracle

# cat exclude_list
/tmp
/oradata/
/var/tmp

# cat include_list.$POLICY.$SCHED
/oradata/
