How to exclude directory from (File Systems) backup?
Hello AIX experts,
I have a file system called /bossapp
Its size = 77.5 GB
I want to take a File Systems backup for this one using smitty, it is very easy, but the problem is I want to exclude one directory called (ORIGIN).
How?
The steps are very easy to take a File Systems backup, by typing: #smitty storage, then choose (File Systems) --> then choose (Backup a File System) --> then write the name of the file system.
The question now, how to exclude a specific directory?!
Waiting your answer.

NAME
backup-manager - An easy to use backup tool for your Linux box.
SYNOPSIS
backup-manager [options]
DESCRIPTION
Backup Manager is an easy-to-use tool for generating archives.
It is designed with simplicity in mind for those who don't want an obfuscated tool for making tarballs.
There are different methods for building archives: tarballs, incremental tarballs, mysql dumps, svn dump. You can also write your own
method with a generic method that will execute a command and will archive its output.
Every times you run Backup Manager, you can upload archives thanks to a couple of upload methods: through FTP, SSH or even with RSYNC.
It's also possible to export your archives to removable media like CDR or DVD.
CONFIGURATION FILES
Backup Manager's behavior is defined in configuration files. You can use different configuration files at the same time. The default con-
figuration file is `/etc/backup-manager.conf'.
An example should have been provided with the program, most of the time it's installed in `/usr/share/backup-manager/backup-man-
ager.conf.tpl'.
If you want exhaustive details about how to write your own configuration files, please refer to the Backup Manager User Guide:
http://www.backup-manager.org/documentation/user-guide/
