Configuring exclude lists

You can exclude the volumes from the backup selection list that you do not want to back up. For example, if /prodVol* is the backup selection, there may be a volume/prodVol-Scratch, which you do not want to back up.

To exclude volumes:

  1. On the left, click Policies, under Protection. Click the Schedules tab. Under Backup schedules, click Add. Click the Exclude volumes tab.
  2. On the Exclude Volumes tab, in the Volume to exclude field, add the preferred volumes that you do not want to backup.

    The list of excluded volumes appears in the table below. You can edit or delete the entries in the table.
