Hello All,
I want to share one issue which we are facing in our Netbackup environment. We are having Linux server as Master server and Netbackup version is 7.6.0.2.We take backup of the databases through RMAN however when we are trying to backup the DB host it is also backing up the dbf files used for database.I guess we are missing something in our exclusion list. For exclusion related to DB we have set the parameters in exclusion list as below:
/*/oradata*/*/*.dbf
/*/oraarch/*/*.arc
Is there anything which we are missing?The above should always exclude the dbf and .arc files under oradata and oraarch.
Note: Multiple Data Stream is checked in OS backup policy, Selection list is : ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES,/tmp
Solved! Go to Solution.

HI
you can simply try with *.dbf and *.arc
when it comes to selection list, you have given ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES. Then no need of /tmp file being added over there.

MarianneAshok,
Thanks for looking into this.
Exclude list file name and location is correct, suppose we are having dbf files under /xyz/oradata/.dbf and in the exclude we have /*/oradata*/*/*.dbf. exclude list path /usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.policy name.

As per the example given by you..
/xyz/oradata/.dbf
it should be /*/oradata*/*.dbf
/usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list.policy name :- This exclude list works with the policy name you have mentioned in the path.

Thanks Guys for your suggestions we have now provided only .dbf and .arc files in the exclusion list which is working fine.
