[FEATURE REQUEST - EDIT EXCLUSION LIST ITEM]

[CarlosEsteves]

Hello team,

In my company we have a very huge SAP environment and according to SAP we can´t do backup using snapshot because of Oracle Database.

So we took the decision of having 2 job for each server.

1 for filesystem backup excluding oracle path (data files)
1 for DB backups.

In Veeam, I need to use as backup mode "File-level backup (slower), as I don´t want to copy entire server.

And to make a good job, I need to add in the exclusion path like /oracle/<SID>/sapdataX.

In Veeam we don´t have option to edit on entry in the exclusion list and that will be very good if we have.

Hi Carlos,

Why doesn’t the filter with the exclude mask work for you?

Thanks!

[CarlosEsteves]

Because I need to exclude oracle data files for different server, with different path.

If I need like *.dbf or *.data will exclude not only the data files of oracle , but more files across directories, as I´m running backup in the "/" using root recursive mode = yes.

Hello,

And what about providing the full path to the Oracle home? For example: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1, or something similar?

Thanks!

[CarlosEsteves]

Not sure this can fit, as they use mount points for the oracle data.

Hi Carlos,

At first glance, I don't see any issues with that. Why do you think it's a problem?

Thanks!

[CarlosEsteves]

I can try, but this is not the target of the request.

Objective is to have Edit options to paths added to exclude list. Tks
