Include List tab

Use this tab to make exceptions to the list of excluded files on the Exclude List tab. Include lists apply only to server-directed backups, not to user-directed backups.

Note:

Only a NetBackup administrator should make changes to this tab.

For example, a client directory named History appears in the Exclude Files List on the Exclude List tab. You want to back up a file named 100_bc.doc that resides in that directory. To back up the file without backing up the entire directory, add the 100_bc.doc file name to the Include File List.

The default include list applies to the C drive 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 include lists for specific policies and the schedules that back up the client.
