Ignite - Want to exclude 3 filesystems - put in config file to do this?

[Angie_1]

I would like to exclude 3 filesystems. Is there a file that you can put this exclusion into so that you don't have to type out each type the ones you want to exclude? Using make_tape_recovery.

Thanks,
Angie

I have always just put the excludes on the command line.

We have a script that runs the make_tape_recovery command so we just modify the script once and then you don't have to retype the whole command every time you do a make_tape_recovery.

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archive_content

This is the file you need. It is not there you must creat it.

From man make_tape_recovery:

The contents file has the following keyword identifiers:

include
Includes the specified filename or directory and all subdirectories and associated files. Mount points are not crossed and symbolic links are not followed.

inc_cross
Include the specified filename or directory and all subdirectories and files contained underneath subdirectories. Local mount points are crossed but symbolic links are not followed.

inc_entire
Include the entire specified volume group (e.g. "vg00") or disk (block device - e.g. "/dev/dsk/c0t5d0"). Do not specify a disk if it is part of a volume group.

exclude
Exclude the specified filename or directory and all subdirectories and files contained under the subdirectories.

Thank you... all of you. I will create the archive_content file and format as specified.

Much appreciated!
