2. Enter data into one of the following fields:
Exclude List File Name
Specify the fully qualified path and file name to use as the exclude list.
If this field is left blank, the excluded entries will be placed in the
default exclude list located at: /usr/lpp/sysback/.exclude_list.
File or directory name to add
Default=(blank/none). Enter a filename or directory name to add to the
exclude list. The file or directory name must begin with a slash (/), but
can contain wildcard (*) characters. If you enter a filename, only that
file is excluded. If you enter a directory name, all files and directories
within the specified directory are excluded.
If you enter a filesystem mount point for the directory, the entire
filesystem is excluded from the backup. This will not, however, prevent
the filesystem from being recreated from backups without restoring the
data.
Logical Volume name to add
Default=(blank/none). Enter the name of a logical volume to exclude
from system and volume group backups. If specified, the logical
volume data is not included in the backup, but you can recreate the
logical volume from the backup without restoring the data. Enter the
logical volume name in the form of /dev/lv00.
3. Press Enter to accept the entries. You must repeat the above steps for each file,
directory, or logical volume you want to exclude.
If you prefer, you may create your exclude list directly using the editor of your
choice. There should only be one exclude entry per line. When entering logical
volumes in this manner, they should be listed as @lvname. For example, /dev/lv00
would be entered in the exclude list file as @lv00.
Below are the contents of a sample exclude list file:
