Hi All,

How do I create an image excluding a particular directory on my home directory? Those directory is the default storage of the application. We would want this directory to exclude.

Thanks in advance.

Are you creating a tape? If so you will need to use the make_tape_recovery command. I don't remember the exact syntax but there should be an option like '-x exc_dir=/dir/name' or something like that.

Have a look at the make_tape_recovery man page for more info.

The whole command line I would for something like that would be:

# make_tape_recovery -I -v -a /dev/rmt/?mn -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exc_dir=/dir/name

That is assuming that my syntax is close on the exc_dir directive.

The exclude syntax part of the command line is....

-x exclude=file|dir

This information is in the man page for 'make_tape_recovery'

Or you can do the following:

#make_recovery -A -c -v -i -p -d /dev/rmt/0mn

This -p option will do a preview instead doing a ignite image.
Then you can edit
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/arch.include
file and exclude the files and directories that are not required.

Then the -r option resumes the ignite image creation.

Kind regards
Denise
