Exclude with File Patterns

To back up the NetWare File System, an exclude must be made by specifying file patterns. The exclude with file patterns only allows the use of '*' (any character string) and '?' (single arbitrary character).

Examples for exclude list with file patterns:

Backing up /var without /var/tmp but with directory /var/tmp1:

 ./var/tmp

Backing up /var without any directory */tmp*:

 /tmp*

Backing up source /usr avoiding *.o, *.tmp, a.out and old*.c files and all old* directories:

 *.o, *.tmp, a.out, old*.c, /old*

Backing up /usr without /usr/var/spool and /usr/var/log:

 /usr/var/spool, /usr/var/log

Avoid all syslog####.log files:

 /syslog*.log

Backing up NetWare NSS Volume VOL1: without VOL1:tmp:

 VOL1:tmp

	Note
	If you want to exclude a specific path then put the entire path in the exclude list. Several excludes require a separation by commas.
