Description:
NetVault won't let you specify wildcards inside the inclusion list, but you can use wildcards to generate an inclusion list automatically that includes the files you need.
Symptoms:
You need to backup selected files, where using wildcards will simplify the process.
The 'find' command has the correct output. You can create a script that runs on the computer being backed up, before the job runs.
Here is an example of how to use 'find' to search the whole filesystem for *.conf, and put it in a file named inclusionlist in the root directory.
find / -name *.conf > /inclusionlist
You can also limit the search to a portion of the filesystem. Here is an example of creating an inclusion list that only searches /etc for *.conf files.
find /etc -name *.conf > /inclusionlist
