Backup - Excluding an ibay

« on: January 22, 2002, 02:21:06 AM »

I am unable to do a full backup to tape as total file size exceeds the DDS2 Tape drive capacity 4/8GB. Is there a way to exclude an ibay from the back up. I would do a seperate backup of this one ibay (usr_backup) which holds 4GB of PC backup files.

i just worked this out

mv /home/e-smith/files/ibays/excudedibay /mnt/excludedibay

do backup

mv /mnt/excludedibay /home/e-smith/files/ibays/excudedibay

the move takes about 0.1 seconds
