NDMP Exclude File Under Paths Using FluidFS

When you define a backup using DMA, you can select specific directories from the virtual NAS volume to include in, or exclude from, backup jobs.

Requirements

The following requirements must be met to include or exclude NDMP paths:
  • The path specified can be a directory or a file. If the path is a directory, all child elements of that directory will be included in (or excluded from) the backup.

    Each path specified is a child of the backup root directory and must start with a forward slash (/).

  • The maximum number of paths that you can include or exclude is 32.
  • Each path can be a maximum of 128 bytes long.
  • The first or the last element of the path can contain a wildcard character (*).
  • If both include and exclude paths are defined, the NDMP server will first check for include, then check for exclude.
  1. In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
  2. Click the File System tab.
  3. In the File System view, expand NAS Volumes and select a NAS volume.
  4. Click Edit Settings.

    The Edit NAS Volume Settings dialog box opens.
