Hello.

What is the OS version in the client, and which Networker Server version are installed both in server and client?

You have 2 possibilities :

  - You either list only the pathnames that you want to backup

  - You use a skip directive to omit the subdirectories you want to excludes

       For examples, please have a look at the default directives

All OS versions are CentOS 7 - Networker 8.2

I have specified exactly what to backup - the problem is that these two folders were previously selected. The folders have since been deleted and I verified they were not selected for backup but Networker continues to try to back them up even though they don't exist.

I'd prefer not to create a directive for a single client to exclude directories that don't even exist.

A little bit difficult to know what happens. Are you backing up a parent folder of that directories?. May be that directories are sub-folders and, even when they are unmounted, are still present in fstab.

Check if you have entries in fstab for the non-existent directories.

Verify whether there is an existing 'always' directive which is assigned to that client. Otherwise I do not see why NW should insist of backing these up.

Another possibility is to delete and recreate the client resource.

I ended up setting my save sets to ALL and creating more granular directives for all my hosts.

I successfully ran backups last night without any errors - although my directives still need some work.

Thanks
