Need help with directive

Environment: NW server Red Hat ES V3, Client Windows, NW 7.3.2 Build 399

We want to exclude a disk except for one directory, For Save set we have 'All' specified and prefer to keep it that way. We set up a global directive as follows:

<< / >>
+compressasm: .

<<"D:\">>
+skip: *.*

<<¿D:\Exchange¿>>
forget
+compressasm: .

The messages file says this when the backup runs:

Apr 3 21:23:43 solegato2 logger: * soads.csuso.csu.ct.edu:D:\ save: bad dir spec, line 6 of C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\sd000001
Apr 3 21:23:43 solegato2 logger: * soads.csuso.csu.ct.edu:D:\ C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\sd000001 line 6: illegal token
Apr 3 21:23:43 solegato2 logger: * soads.csuso.csu.ct.edu:D:\ C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\sd000001 line 6: parse error
Apr 3 21:23:43 solegato2 logger: soads.csuso.csu.ct.edu: D:\ level=1, 0 KB 00:00:02 0 files

I normally don't set up directoves for Windows so I'm not sure what's wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Vic

Hm... I just saw that an issue with forever has been reported to EMC, but I have no details... might be your issue...

I thought the 'forget' directive causes the 'compressasm' for be forgotten as well so I have to re-enable.

I do not thing there is a need for compressasm specified under D:\Exchange as in Windows world / applies to everything anyway.

By reading the doc I get the same feeling too... hm. I wonder if \ is seen as escape character here... try \\ instead (I know, it is Windows, but software is UNIXoid).

That does seem to be the problem. I called EMC support and they pointed me to knowledge base article - esg66185 NetWorker Directives not working as expected

I gave up on the directive and switched save set from 'All' to the individual disks.

They probably were referring to esg53304.
