Ignite backup exclude certain directory

[kholikt]

I have a VG00 volume that contains my database LV as well. I want to do ignite ux to create a recovery tape but is there anyway that I can exclude certain directory. For ignite the command option can only exclude by volume group

What version of Ignite are you using??
Latest versions do support exclusion of a file/dir.

man make_tape_recovery.
You have two options.
-f "content_file"
-x exclude=dir/file

Hi,

Just use '-x exclude=' option when you run the Ignite backup.

From man page :

-x exclude=file|dir
Excludes the file or directory from the archive. When a directory is specified, no files beneath that directory will be stored in the archive.

Example :
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -A -I -v -x exclude=/dowan -a /dev/rmt/
0mnb

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
