HP-UX root directory backup

Question

Hello, I hope you are doing well.I need your valuable help.What should I do so that commvault only backs up the files in the root directory of a linux machine (HP-UX)?Example: in other backup software when using "/" it only recognizes that it is only for backing up the root directory, in commvault it backs up the whole machine, including files that are not necessary. thank you very much. :)

Hi @CARLOS PADILLACustomers in general want to protect their entire clients including all ext3, ext4, xfs volumes on Linux. When content is set as root “/”, we follow the applicable mount points and protect all the data.https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/61608_advanced_backup_options_data.htmlIf you don’t want to backup anything outside of “/”, then can you try disabling“Follow Mount Point” option and see if it resolves your concern?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If backups are run using schedules, go to the schedule policy properties → select Full or Incremental schedules →Click on Edit →Under Backup Task Options, click on Advanced →Deselect Follow Mount Points option →SaveThanks,Sparsh

@CARLOS PADILLA, by default, ‘/’ backs up everything. You van filter out the subsequent folders using defined filters:https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/11829_content_filters_and_regular_expressions_backup.html#unix-filtersLet me know if you have questions about that doc!
