how to do a include_list for a windows cilent.

[J_H_Is_gone]

Netbackup 5.1 MP6

Master = windows

media= aix

client = windows

I don't want to make a new policy just for this one server.

my client is in a policy that currently backs up the c:\* for all the clients in the policy

one of these clients I want to ALSO backup e:\backup and the files in the backup dir.

My problem is I am having issues understanding how to do this on a windows client.

I have figured out

bpplinclued <policyname> -add E:\backup

but this is not a command I can find on the client so how do I get this specifice for one client in that policy

or

how to I make the include list on the windows client (unix is so easy... just make the file!)

thanks for you help.

I'm not sure you can do that without modifying or adding a new policy (or scheduing a client-side backup).  Include/exclude lists only modify the stuff the policy already does.  They don't add new filesystems to the policy.

bpplinclude is the command to modify a policy.  So even if you ran it on the client, it would still affect the entire policy.

You should be able to modify a windows client's include/exclude lists in the client properties screen on the GUI.

The purpose of the include list is to put back into the backup the files or directories that were already in the exclude list. It cannot be used to introduce entirely new folders and directories.

You can add Include/Exclude files to each client and will be independent of the policy, but under the policy must be contemplated to backup that drive, also a quick way to add file/folders to the exclude/include list in windows is in the registry, under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\Exclude

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\Include

Just add the list of folder and files you need, it is faster then to add them one by one on the client.

Simply put.

you must create a new policy for the one client

or

add the e:\ drive to the existing policy and then add excludes to all of the other clients to exclude the e:\ drive.

I would create a new policy for the special client to backup its c:\ and e:\ drives.
