The Add Selection List Entry menu provides choices for adding and removing TSA resources, directories, and files from the backup. You display this menu by typing a (Add Selection List Entry) at the Target Selection List Configuration menu.
When you initially define a target, it includes all major TSA resources, directories, and files. If you specify to exclude an entry, then everything except the excluded entries are included. If you specify to include an entry, then only the entries marked for inclusion are included in the backup.

t
to go to
the Target Configuration menu.s
to go to
the Target Selection List Configuration
menu.Options 1
and
2
allow you to exclude or include
specific Target Service Agent resources. For example, this allows
you to set the Target Resource on the NetWare file server to back
up the entire NetWare File System, and then exclude the
SYS
resource.
Options 3
and
4
allow you to exclude or include
specific directories on the NetWare file server from the backup.
For example, you could exclude SYS:/VISTA/
from the backup.
Options 5
and
6
allow you to exclude or include
specific files from the backup. For example, you could exclude all
files with the extension .BAK
and
.TMP
by specifying *.TMP
and *.BAK
.
Options 7 and 8 allow you to exclude or
include specific files under specific directories on the NetWare
file server from the backup. For example, you could exclude
SYS:/TMP/*.TMP
from the backup.
Name spaces include areas such as DOS and LONG. Type the number corresponding to the entry in the displayed list of name space types.
NetBackup will use the namespace to name the objects in the backup in the NetBackup database. The actual backup image will contain information pertaining to all the namespaces that exist for the file (i.e. namespaces installed on the volume).
For example:
The SYS volume has the DOS namespace and the LONG namespace installed and there is a file X where:
DOS namespace SYS:
\THISISA.TXT
LONG namespace SYS::
This is a long document
name.txt
If the DOS namespace is selected for the
target, then in the NetBackup database it would appear as
/TGTNAME/SYS/THISISA.TXT
. If you choose
DOS, you do NOT lose long names.
If the LONG namespace is selected for the
target, then in the NetBackup database it would appear as
/TGTNAME/SYS/This is a long document
name.txt
.
When the file is deleted and then restored, the restored file will have:
DOS namespace SYS:
\THISISA.TXT
LONG namespace SYS::
This is a long document
name.txt
This is because when the file is backed up, it contains information about what the file's name should look like in all of the namespaces that existed at the time of the backup.
Redirected restores to different targets are different. If you try to restore the backup to the target defined to use the DOS namespace on the SYS volume on machine B, you would get mixed results. Some files may get restored and some may not. Those original LONG names that are legal DOS names would get restored. But the original LONG names that are NOT legal DOS names would not get restored.
For example:
On machine A in the LONG namespace -
SYS:\FILE.TXT
This file would get restored correctly using the target defined for machine B because this name is a valid DOS name.
On machine A in the LONG namespace -
SYS:\FILE IS LONG AND NOT DOS
VALID.TXT
This file would NOT get restored correctly using the target defined for machine B because this is not a valid DOS name.
For example, if 7
(Exclude path/files) is selected for a DOS namespace, you could
type SYS:/STUART/*.BAK
to exclude files
with a .BAK
extension under the
SYS:/STUART
directory. Enter a blank
line to end the list.
