I have just installed netbackup client software on first 2003 machine. And the backup reports everytime:
WRN - can't open file: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG\enterprisesec.config.cch.2060.53060812 (WIN32 5: Unknown error)
WRN - can't open file: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG\security.config.cch.2060.53060812 (WIN32 5: Unknown error)
I assume this is the norm for these files? If so I was wondering going through NT and 2000 now to 2003 if there are definite items that can be added to the exclude list of said clients.
Maybe a bit extreme to exclude them, as they only give a Status 1 at the end of the backup, but would be nice to know for sure which files can be excluded.
I remember a previous discussion that mentioned it was ok to exclude the perflib.dat file?
Under v3.4 I'm sure I excluded pagefile.sys as it was trying to capture this, but have removed it since newer version does not try this file at all.
I suppose also you should exclude any paths to MS SQL data files, as these also can't be opened as they should be backed up via agent or via a flat backup onto the filesystem.
Another are the *.lock files on media servers within the Netbackup path.
Any others that you religiously exclude on Windows Server clients?
Whats your thoughts on this, or should I just leave as is.
Regards.
