Avamar Exclusions

d:\Program Files\ \var\lib\**\db\hot*

try the double ** - it is my understand it means anywhere it finds this

example I want to exclude all sql databases and log files

--exclude=**.ldb

--exclude=**.mdb

so if you use the ** it should be any folder under lib where it then finds a db dir with a file that starts with hot.

if you think there are no more files that start with hot you could try **\hot*  ( but I have not ever tried that)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give this a try and see what happens.

I set this up and was able to exclude the folders I wanted. Thanks for the solution.

Ok so I can exclude files using the above method. Now I've set up a dataset that I only want to include certain folders that all start with the same string and then have an incrementing number after (e.g. file0001, file0002,...). I tried the following but neither of these work:

D:/folder/file*

D:/folder/file**

How can I wildcard on a folder name?

Thanks.

D:\**\file.*

this is suppose to be in any folder the file.*

careful as it will exclude all

D:\folder1\folder2\**\file.*

this would only work recursivly under folder2

as always test and verify it works as you expect.

Not sure this will do what I want. This looks like you're looking for a file named file.*. Filexxxx isn't just a file it's an actual folder. All of the applicable folders I want to backup exist in D:/folder/. Basically I want to backup all folders with the name Filexxxx.

Thanks.
