NBU command line to add Exclusion list to Windows platform

NBU = 6.5.3
OS = AIX version 6

I was hoping someone can tell me if there is a NBU command to add a path to the Exclusion List. Ultimately, I'd like to create a script to be able to automatically prompt me for a client/server name. Then the repetitive path (for Windows only) will automatcally be added into the Exclusion List after prompting for a client/server name. Please advise.

Thank you
Jay Son

I dont think there is a

I dont think there is a command to add exclude lists. I have no knowledge of AIX, but I know an exclude list in unix is just a file called exclude_list under /usr/openv/netbackup.
You should be able to use native AIX commands to create the file with touch and populate it with the entries.

Use the windows admin gui

You can run the windows admin gui from any pc, that's allowed to connect to the server and clients (Firewall, SERVER entry in the bp.conf/registry)  to set excludes on windows clients comfortably. Just select all the clients you want to edit in the host properties area, right click properties and in the exclude-section you will see the excludes for the selected clients. Black entries are on all clients, grey entries on some clients. Now you can add the path you want to exclude to all the clients.

I think it can be done by using bpsetconfig

DOCUMENTATION: A method for centrally managing exclude and include list for UNIX and Linux clients under NetBackup 6.5.3.

The bpsetconfig works on Windows also.
