Exception and Exclusion File Commands

The following list shows the commands that are available on the Manage Exception/Exclusion Files screen. To work with an existing file, enter the appropriate command in the Command column next to the file. To create a file, enter the appropriate command on the command line.

COPY/filename

Enter in: Command column

Creates an exception or exclusion file by copying an existing definition; filename is the name of the new file.

DISCARD

Enter in: Command column

Deletes an existing exception or exclusion file.

PRINT

Enter in: Command column

Sends a report to your virtual printer that describes the exceptions or exclusions you have defined.

The PRINT command prints information about the entire exception or exclusion file. The PF11 (Print) key prints the list of exception or exclusion files one screen at a time.

RENAME/filename

Enter in: Command column

Renames an existing exception or exclusion file; filename is the new name of the file.

UPDATE

Enter in: Command column

Modifies an existing exception or exclusion file.

Warning! Update exception files only before running a full backup. Do not update an exception file before running an incremental backup. If the exception file for an incremental backup job differs from the exception file for the previous backup on which the incremental job is based, CA VM:Backup performs a full backup, not an incremental backup, of the affected minidisks or file spaces.

XCLUSION/filename
