About excluding Exchange items from backups
If you do not want to back up certain databases, you can create an exclude list. When NetBackup runs a NetBackup for Exchange backup policy, NetBackup ignores the items that appear in the exclude list.
For more information on how to create an exclude list see one of the following:
NetBackup excludes certain files and directories by default. These default exclusions always appear in the exclude list.
You can exclude specific databases from a backup, both for the databases that exist in a DAG or on a standalone Exchange server. You can specify the exclude list for all policies or for a specific policy or schedule.
Table: Example Exchange entries in an exclude list provides an example of the Exchange entries that you can add to an exclude list.

| The database named Database2. You can use the same Microsoft information Store:\ directive for both DAG and standalone databases. Note that the entry Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Groups:\Database 2 is an invalid exclude entry. |
