Description
The chexcludelist command is used to either add or delete entries from the
exclude list file. The exclude list file contains directories, individual filenames, or
logical volume names that are to be excluded from all backups created with the
SysBack commands.
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.
When specifying wild cards, you must enclose the string in single quotation marks
(’) to preserve the special characters.
The following are examples of using wildcard in the exclude list:
/tmp All files below the /tmp directory
/*test* All files in the system containing the word “test”.
/*old All files on the system ending with “old”.
/home/b* All files under /home starting with a “b”.
/home/t*y All files under /home starting with “t” and ending with “y”.
Note that any entry starting with “/*” will include all directories on the system,
not just the root (/) directory.
Note: When excluding a logical volume name, type a “@” character before the
logical volume name. This indicates that the entry is a logical volume and
not a file or directory. You cannot use wild cards in logical volume names.
Flags
-l Lists current entries. No changes are made to the existing exclude list.
-a “filename”
Adds a filename or directory to the exclude list.
-r “filename”
Removes a filename or directory from the exclude list.
