Syntax Rules for Exclude Lists and Include Lists

Syntax Rules

The following syntax rules apply to exclude lists and include lists.

• Only one pattern per line is allowed.

• The following meta or wildcard characters are recognized:

[ ]

• To use the wildcard characters literally (that is, as non wildcard characters),

precede them with a backslash (\). For example, assume that the brackets in

the following example are not being used as wildcards:

\home\abc\fun[ny[name

In your exclude list, precede the brackets with a backslash as in

\home\abc\fun\[ny\[name

to have NetBackup interpret the brackets literally.

Note: Note that a backslash (\) acts as an escape character only when it

precedes a wildcard as in the above example. This means that NetBackup

normally interprets a backslash literally and it is a legal character to use in

pathnames.

• Spaces are considered legal characters. Be careful to omit extra spaces

unless they are part of the file name.

For example, if you want to exclude a file named

C:\home\testfile

(with no extra space character at the end)

and your exclude list entry is

C:\home\testfile (with an extra space character at the end)

NetBackup will not be able to find the file until you delete the extra space

from the end of the file name.
