Hi Johannes

Nice help, thank you.

Now I just need to know if it's possible to use a wildcard with this method?

The scenario is that we have to use an active production SQL server, for restores of sharepoint SQL databases, from which they can copy contents to the original.

So we restore a copy of a database and names it _restore at the end of the original databasename.

But we don't want to backup the restored databases again, so I have to find a way to skip those.

Is it possible in any way, without knowing the exact name of the database?

You dont use directive to do this. You should mention the database to skip in the nsrsqlsv command.

put in backup command for the client resource this:

nsrsqlsv -s -h

and won't get backed up.

Regards,

Johannes

The only way is to manually define databases or skip them at backup command level as noted above.
