Hmmmm sounds complicated, but looking at the SysAdmin guide, you may be best
to specify the drives that WANT to be backed up within your current policy
(or a new policy, depending on what your overall goal is).

Now, reading this it sounds like you specify the file extension (ie: *.bat)
that need to be backed up, but EXCLUDE the root drive letters - which I
guess in your case maybe C:\, E:\

Ok now im confused reading this :-(( But it sounds like it MAY work,
although being totally honest, never tried it!!

I would suggest setting up a TEST POLICY and see if it works out perhaps?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] exclude, include query


Guys im mailing on behalf of a colleague who works on the windows side of
the fence. He asked me this question about netbackup but i wasnt too sure on
how it would behave.

He basically wants to backup *.trk and *.bak ( i think cant remember ) on a
couple few drives. Now he cant put m:\*.trk and m:\*.bak because that will
just backup those files in the root of m:\  right?

He has ought about doing this :-  put in the policy file list *.trk and
*.bak hoping this will backup all instances no matter what directory or
mount point. Then in the exclude_list put ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and in the
include_list put m:\ n:\

Hes hoping this will backup *.trk anywhere under m:\ and n:\

Has anyone any idea if this will work or if the include_list overrides the
policy file lists and everything under m:\ will be backed up?

Cheers
Dave
