Exclude File Pools

Enter the names of the SFS file pools that CA VM:Backup is to exclude from processing. You can specify up to 12 individual file pools or use pattern matching to exclude multiple file pools that have similar names. CA VM:Backup does not back up any of the file spaces in the specified file pools. You cannot use this screen to create an exclusion file that excludes file spaces from a restore job. To exclude file spaces, use TPI.

To specify more than 12 file pools, use the exclusion file EXCLUDE record through TPI instead of the system administrator screens. For information about this record and about TPI, see the Template Programming Interface Guide.
