excluding directories within a make_tape_recovery

[Richard Ross]

I have the following command .. The goal is to backup the entire vg00 except for the /orabackup mount point contained within vg00.

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/orabackup

But when I look in /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.log, I see the following warnings:

WARNING: File '/orabackup' in archive_content list not found, or too big for
pax to handle. Skipping.
WARNING: list_expander returned a warning; please check the recovery.log file
for details.
* Creating Archive Configuration
WARNING: File '/orabackup' in archive_content list not found, or too big for
pax to handle. Skipping.

I guess my thought was if I'm excluding /orabackup, I would not be seeing any warning for that directory (except for the fact that I'm excluding it)

Thanks for any clarifications, Richard

Shalom Richard,


Create a system recovery tape that includes all of the vg00 and vg01
volume groups, but that excludes the /depots directory.

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -x inc_entire=vg01
-x exclude=/depots

SEP .. Thanks,

I think I found the issue .. I standardized on a command for this agency (many servers) .. This one server does not contain a /orabackup

I will just place a dummy directory on the servers that are missing it.

Thanks

i specify the exclude option like this

inc_entire=vg00 -x include=/usr/openv -x exclude=/usr/openv/netbackup/logs -x
exclude=/usr/openv/netbackup/db -x exclude=/usr/openv/netbackup/debug
