#291 Issue closed: include filsystem in backup when AUTOEXCLUDE_MULTIPATH=y¶
Labels: support / question
MalfuncEddie opened issue at 2013-08-12 10:51:¶
I've got a server with the OS on internal disks. There are a lot of san disks that don't need to be included in the backup. These have been excluded with AUTOEXCLUDE_MULTIPATH=y.
Unfortunately I do need one file system that is defined on the san/multipath volume. Is there a way that I can include this file system.
Or do I have to manually fill the exclude list with all filesystems on the san except the file system I need ?

You could use in the /etc/rear/local.conf file the following settings
(example only):
AUTOEXCLUDE_MULTIPATH=n
ONLY_INCLUDE_VG=( "vg00" "vg01" )
EXCLUDE_MOUNTPOINTS=( /san1 /san2 )
You must mention all mountpoints you want to exclude. You could use
EXCLUDE_VG instead of ONLY_INCLUDE_VG, but that is up to you what
you prefer.

Tnx,
Will try it this week.

It guess it's also useful to mention that the local.conf file is sourced as a shell script. That means you can generate the list in EXCLUDE_MOUNTPOINTS if you want to...

It took what time and some clever implementation of the options but it
worked.

@MalfuncEddie Could you explain what you mean with clever implementation of the options?
