Title: Backup - Excluding an ibay
Post by: Mike Drummond 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.  

Regards
Mike Drummond

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
