Comma-separated list of files or directories
|
Specifies
files or directories to exclude from a backup. By default, none are excluded.
When
specifying a file or directory, type either:
- A full path name, relative to
the top-level directory specified in the backup path. The path name must start
with a forward slash (/). An asterisk (*) can be typed at the end as a wildcard
character.
- A terminal file or directory,
which is simply the last element in the path. The name must not contain any
forward slash (/) characters, but it may start or end with the wildcard
character *.
For example:
ENVIRONMENT
EXCLUDE “/dir1/tmp*,core,*.o”
This command
excludes all files and directories that:
- Start with the letters tmp in
the directory /dir1
- Are called core
- End with the characters .o
The command
is case-sensitive if backing up an NFS export but not if backing up a CIFS
share.
