Exclude List tab

By default, NetBackup does not back up certain files and file types during a server-directed backup. You can also exclude specific files from server-directed backups by adding them to an exclude list.

Use this tab to specify any client files or directories you want to exclude from server-directed backups. Exclude lists apply only to server-directed backups, not to user-directed backups.

Note:

Only a NetBackup administrator should make changes to this tab.

You can identify exceptions to the Exclude File List on the Include Files tab.

See Include List tab.

The default Exclude File List applies to drive C on the client. No policy and schedule are required. Any or all items in the list can be removed but the list cannot be deleted.

You can also create exclude lists for specific policies and the schedules that back up the client.

Table: Exclude List tab properties describes the properties on the Exclude List tab.
