Have in mind that daily backup will expire all excluded files/dirs. As result verd/reto settings will apply and you may lose data. The exclude will work correct only in case all data from "old" server is copied into *.old dir on a "new" server.
Also note this will exclude SYS:DIR1.OLD but not DATA:DIR1\DIR2.OLD. You may need exclude.dir *:\...\*.old Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Jim Kirkman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 17.01.2003 16:12 Please respond to jim_kirkman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Exclude.dir question > I'm trying to ensure I don't get redundant backups of folders as our > server group migrates data to a new environment.
