Use-case scenario
|
See also: Creating Exclude List – Exclude with Regular Expressions |
|
Check FAQ for additional information on exclude lists. |
|
If you are using an older SEP sesam version, refer to Documentation archive. |
In all of the following examples, we assume that the directory to be backed up contains the following subdirectories and files:
# find /backupsource/ ./ADirectory1 ./ADirectory1/file1 ./dir-exclude ./dir-exclude/one ./DIRECTORY12FALL ./DIRECTORY12FALL/file1 ./ADirectory2 ./ADirectory2/file1 ./BDirectory2 ./BDirectory2/file1 ./BDirectory1 ./BDirectory1/file1 ./BDirectory1/file2 ./1235-Directory1 ./1235-Directory1/file1
The backup source in each example is /backupsource/. The excludes are entered manually into the exclude list field (but they can also be used in an exclude file). For more information, see Creating Exclude List.
|
Note |
| The exclude list on the SEP sesam Linux client can also be used as an include list by specifying the + (plus) sign at the beginning of a pattern. For details, see Advanced Backup and Restore Options. |
The backup job is started with extended logging level (-v 2) so that the excluded files are visible in the log.
Examples
All files and directories starting with the letter "A" are to be ignored
"/backupsource/A.*"
