larskarlskov Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi, Can I somehow setup retrospect to not backup mounts on a Linux client? I know I can exclude folders and so on in both client and server but is there a way to exclude backup of Linux mounts in general? Best regards, Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauricev Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Why would you want to do that? It's not uncommon for even parts of the OS such as /boot and /var to be on mounted filesystems. And generally data is stored in directories like /home that is often stored on a mounted filesystem. Anyway, one option that might work for non-system directories is to put all your mounts inside one single directory, such as /mnt. You could then use symlinks to those directories to get them to appear in other places. Retrospect should backup the symlinks as files and not follow them to their targets.

larskarlskov Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Thank you for the answer - I'll try to use the /mnt and see how it works. Lars-k:-) Edited January 9, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
