We'd like to run an incremental backup of a group of directories. The exact directory names vary from server to server, but they all follow the form /u01/app/oracle/admin/*/arch/
where the "*" is the name of an Oracle instance.
When we run an incremental using the filespec as shown, the backup does not pick up any files, even when we create a new file or touch an existing file in one of those directories. We've tried this with and without quotes around the filespec.
Is there a limitation on the filespec used so that wildcards in the middle of the string do not get processed? These are Solaris 9 clients using client version 5.1.6.2 or 5.2.0.0
Thanks in advance,
Ted
