Title: What is the canonical way of excluding an extra drive from flexbackup, please?
Post by: stabilys on October 22, 2007, 04:58:06 PM

I have added and mounted (as /mnt/big)  a large extra drive (0.5TB) to an sme server 7.1.3 to store unimportant large files. This is not a problem.

What *is* a problem is that flexbackup is trying to back it up with the standard system on a 100GB DLT (which obviously fails).

On looking through the configuration the system builds the list of filesystems to backup by traversing the fstab.

This is elegant, but how do I properly exclude this drive from being backed up by flexbackup?

I tried adding a custom fragment to enable subtree pruning and exclude the content of that mount but it did not achieve what I wanted.

Thank you!

Have you looked at the flexbackup db variable 'Prune'?

Clearly not closely enough.

Thanks for the hint, Darrell
