NBU6.0 - Exchange Mailboxes - How to exclude a mailbox?

[Alexandre_Rappo]

Hi guys,
I am backing up MS Exchange Mailboxes using the NBU directive.
I have one issue as I created 26 streams, one per letter, like:
Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes:\*
but I would like to exclude one mailbox... ( let's call it alexR )

I found 2 solutions so far:
1-using wild cards and going alphabetically until the mailbox before alexR, and continuing just after alexR. which is complicated and I am not sure to cover all mailboxes
2-using the exclude list. it does not look like mailbox directives exist!

Any 3- idea ?


thanks for your help guys.

I do not know if this will help, but it's fun reading.

Hi Bob,
I exhausted all possibilities, and I can almost conclude that NBU does not exclude single mailbox.

The only thing that does work is doc 257054, and it works well.

Anyone before I log a call to Symantec about it??

OK guys,
I recommend to test as many solutions as possible... and then I found the answer:


Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes:\alexR*

the ' * ' implies that all mailboxes starting with alexR will be excluded.

So far I did not find the exact syntax to exclude one and only one mailbox... I am logging a call to Symantec...
