What can I ignore when backing up UNIX boxes?
Hi All,

Long question and possibly a very short answer....

At work we've just got a new 3rd party backup solution (Netvault by Bakbone -it's v. nice), and I'm currently setting up my UNIX clients as part of the backup schedule. It's just occurred to me that there may be certain files or directories that, as a default, can be excluded from the aforementioned backup schedule.

Is there an equivalent directory to the Windows Temporary Internet Files that I can exclude? - I don't want to waste time backing up the peoples latest cricket scores, surfing habits, personal mails etc. or anything that's not business related.

If you've any ideas let me know, but I've got a feeling that I'll need to go through each server individually before I can start making assumptions....

Thanks, as always.

Regards,

Ger
