Exclusion and include list in file system.

Exclusion and include list in file system.

Hi All,

As the data size of the file system /notes/ln93_9 is too high. We have enabled multistream for the policy 2_Notes_unix_ln93app1.

And added the file sytem in the exclusion list : exclude_list.2_Notes_unix_ln93app1.Full_daily

Configured a new policy for the file system /notes/ln93_9 . which runs on first saturday of every month. Policyname : 2_Notes_unix_ln93app1_LN93_9

But my need is exclusion must happen for the file system /notes/ln93_9 in the policy 2_Notes_unix_ln93app1.

At the same time i need to include the mail database /notes/ln93_9/mail/* in the filesystem /notes/ln93_9 to be included in the same policy with the inclusion list.

Please find the exclude and inclusion list given below.

Policy Name : 2_Notes_unix_ln93app1

Backup slection : ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

Scheduled : Daily full backup

Policy Name : 2_Notes_unix_ln93app1_LN93_9

Backup selection : /notes/ln93_9

scheduled : Full backup at the first saturday of the month.

Thanks

is your exlude and include lists are not getting honored?

if yes, disable the muitistream for the policy 2_Notes_unix_ln93app1 and test it once again.

[Ramaero1]

Thanks for the reply nagala.

As you said my exclude and include lists are not getting honoured.

even after disabling multi stream. Still facing the same issue

[Marianne]

Please post client's bpbkar log.

This will show us how include and exclude lists are interpreted.

From bpbkar log, it seems the exclude_list & include_list are working as expected...

Some example of exclusion in your files:

18:08:34.669 [13565980] <4> is_excluded: Excluded /notes/ln93_9/mail1.box by exclude_list entry /notes/ln93_9/*

18:08:34.670 [13565980] <4> is_excluded: Excluded /notes/ln93_9/mail2.box by exclude_list entry /notes/ln93_9/*

18:08:34.670 [13565980] <4> is_excluded: Excluded /notes/ln93_9/mail7.ntf by exclude_list entry /notes/ln93_9/*

18:08:34.670 [13565980] <4> is_excluded: Excluded /notes/ln93_9/mail7ex.ntf by exclude_list entry /notes/ln93_9/*

...

18:19:26.628 [16908370] <4> is_excluded: Excluded /notes/ln93_9/nmg by exclude_list entry /notes/ln93_9/*

and it did include this one:

18:23:56.473 [13565980] <4> bpbkar PrintFile: /notes/ln93_9/mail/bgaw3.nsf

Maybe you want to tell us which file exactly you found is not in the backup completion.
