About inclusion lists

An inclusion list is a text file that contains a list of files and directories that you want to include in a job. You can use any text editor to create this list. After creating the file, save it on the client to which you want to apply the list. On Linux and UNIX, save the file in multi-byte text format. On Windows, save the file in Unicode text format.

NOTE: Inclusion lists are added on a per-job basis.

Inclusion list considerations

•
The maximum size of an inclusion list depends on how much memory is available to the backup process while it is running. It also depends on the system load at the time of backup. The list can still contain tens of thousands of entries on a small system to hundreds of thousands of entries on a 64-bit system with large memory configuration.
•
Provide the full file path for the file or directory that you want to include in a backup. An inclusion list does not support wildcards.
•
Specify one inclusion per line.
•
Inclusion lists cannot contain files or paths with non-ASCII characters. Such entries can cause a job to fail.
•
Inclusion list is not supported for Off-host backup.
