Backup selection options for an NDMP policy
The backup selections list must specify directories from the perspective of the NDMP host.
For example:
/vol/home/dir1/ /vol/vol1
If you have a Windows primary server or media server, you cannot specify a directory that contains unsupported characters in its name. For example, Windows does not support the following characters in file and folder names and therefore they cannot be used in backup selection specifications:
~ (tilde)
# (number sign)
% (percent)
& (ampersand)
* (asterisk)
[ ] (braces
/ (backslash)
: (colon)
< > (angle brackets)
? (question mark)
\ (slash)
| (pipe)
" (quotation mark)
Refer to your Windows documentation for a complete list of unsupported characters.
You can also use wildcard characters in regular expressions or the directive ALL_FILESYSTEMS to specify path names in NDMP policy backup selections.
