Excluding directories using fbackup

Fordie — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:52:51 GMT

Hi all,
Wonder if you can help.
I need to do a 'full' backup but exclude about six directories.
I know the "e" command can be used but I was wondering, can a graph file be set up to exclude directories only or does have to include what i want to backup? Or is there another way? Hope it makes sense
Many thanks in advance
Fordie

See man page - http://www.docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90691/fbackup.1M.html

There is a -g graph option which define graph file.

Hi Fordie:

You can freely intermix '-e'(xclude) and '-i'(nclude) arguments in a 'fbackup' graph. Before 'fbackup' actually begins backing files up, the graph is expanded and sorted.
