About excluding Notes databases from backups
You can exclude specific Notes databases from the backup by using database links and directory links. This method works if the databases to which the links point are located outside of the Domino data directory.
Identify the databases you want to exclude and move them to a directory outside the Domino data path. Then, create a Domino database or a directory link to the databases. The agent only backs up files with extensions .nsf
, .ntf
and .box
, and does not follow database links or directory links.
To exclude database files from a backup of a Windows client
- Open the NetBackup Administration Console.
- Expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Clients.
- In the right pane, select each of the database clients.
- Right-click and select Properties.
- Expand Windows Client and click Exclude Lists.
- For the policy you created to back up the database supporting files, add the following file types to the list: .nsf, .ntf, .box, .TXN.
- Click OK.
To exclude database files from a backup of a UNIX client
- On each database client, create the following file:
/usr/openv/netbackup/exclude_list
- In the exclude_list file, add the following file types to the list: .nsf, .ntf, .box, .TXN.
