Operating Systems HP-UX Parameter to avoid file being deleted by SAM Post 302349343 by instant000 on Monday 31st of August 2009 05:58:18 PM

Java Parameter to avoid file being deleted by SAM

Good afternoon.

I am a newbie.

We just had a potentially big problem (negated to having good backups).

Basically, there is an option in SAM, to delete all the data from the system that a user ever created.

Lo and behold, silly me, I choose that option, and all sorts of needed files get deleted.

Luckily, we have a good backup.

Unfortunately, I would like to avoid this situation in the future.

Is there a way to choose which directories are *blocked* from being cleared by SAM?

I noticed , from checking thesam_remove.log that the "/var" directory was blocked, for example, but I want the same exclusion for other directories. Is that possible?

Thanks!
