MAC and excludes

I just set up a MAC server for backup Friday.

I did a All_LOCAL_DRIVES

it backed it up OK. 

BUT.....

/dev is in a different file system from /. Skipping.
/home is in a different file system from /. Skipping.
/net is in a different file system from /. Skipping. 

 

now /dev has items in it, but it never kicked off a new child (yes I have the policy to allow streams)

/home and /net don't have anything in them.

But when I go to the bar it shows nothing under /dev.  

1)  is this correct for a MAC

there is no exclude file in /usr/openv/netbackup

And the Job Details said it had to skip a bunch of files under /private/tmp and /private/usr  all saying special files.

And I ended up with a return code of 0

2) is this correct that even though it skipped a bunch of file, with no exclude list it still said it finished ok?

Did you ever figure this out?

MacOS X is treated a lot like Linux (for obvious reasons) - you should be able to use `bpmount -i` locally to figure out what's "different" and why.

With ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, it would be expected that these are skipped when Cross Mount Points isn't checked.

The list of what you should expect to get skipped is in the Admin Guide I - although we don't discuss Macs there, so you kinda have to take the Linux list and extrapolate from there.

Hope this helps!  If not, ask me again!
