Custom Legato Unix Directives

[coachcoty]

I need to create some custom Legato Unix Directives. I am looking to get creative here. Skipping certain, file systems, files. Anyone have any thoughts on this.

Thanks Ed Coty

<<&quot;C:\&quot;>>
skipagefile.sys
+skip:*.avi
+skip:*.mp3
<<&quot;C:\WINNT\Temp\&quot;>>
+skip:*.*
<<&quot;C:\RECYCLER\&quot;>>
+skip:*.*
<<&quot;C:\WINNT\&quot;>>
skip:memory.dmp

Hi,

You can also create a file called nsr.dir (for NT and w2k) with the appropriate directives, and place it in the directory you want to skip. For example:

<<”c:\”>>
+skip: Temp

would skip the temp directory (under C:\) and everything under it.

The &quot;+&quot; makes the command recursive (apply to all subdirectories from the point that it's executed from).

Hope this helps!

Hi thanks for responding. I am looking for Unix Directives. I have created one and ran a preview on the group and it still looks like it will backup the file system. The directive looks like this:

<< / >>
+ skip: /fs/fs01
+ skip: /fs/fs02

Since the file systems is /fs/fs01 should the directive be more like this:

<< /fs/fs01 >>
+ skip: *.*

On unix, you can do what ag100 suggested except the file name is &quot;.nsr&quot; (remove the quotes).

You can put the .nsr file down in a specific subdirectory if you wish and the directive will then apply to that subdirectory and below.

I prefer having these in a file on the client rather than a special directive on the server, but you may feel differently.

put .nsr in the root directory of the client with entry like

<< /tmp >>
+skip: .?* *
<< /fs/fs01 >>
+skip: .?* *

This skips everything on the filesystems mounted at /tmp and /fs/fs01 but saves the mount point.
