Doubt in exclude list

[Varma_Chiluvuri]

I have one doubt in exlude list

we have set "/oracle*/*/ora[0-9]/" entry in exclude_list but it didn't consider /oracle/6P/ora_backup and taking it while doing os backup, will [0-9] dont consider '_' underscore as a character.

[Andy_Welburn · Accepted solution]

No. In your exclude_list [0-9] will only match any (single) number character.

How I would interpret your exclude_list  /oracle* / * / ora[0-9] /

/ oracle[anything] / [anything] / ora0 /
/ oracle[anything] / [anything] / ora1 /
/ oracle[anything] / [anything] / ora2 /
... etc ... to ...
/ oracle[anything] / [anything] / ora9 /
 

So, /oracle/6P/ora_backup would not be excluded. Just add another exclude entry for oracle_backup ..... ?

Your list will exclude anything with ora0 up to ora9. I would say it should be

/oracle/[0-9]P/ora_backup
