modify selection list
Hi all,
I would like to know if I can actually edit my selection list file on a text
editor rather than doing the modification using the windows admin console.
There are around 50 pc running the backup agents. They are combination of
win98, w2k and nt. If I want to do modification on the list, I have to make
sure that particular pc being turn on. Otherwise, the admin console will not
be able to locate the PC and I can not make change. This problem didn't
happen on version 8.5 as the list will always be the same if the machine is
not on.
Thanks in advance

That shouldn't be a problem - the job files should be contained in the
SYS:BKUPEXEC\JOBDATA directory, just open them up with
wordpad/notepad/EDIT.NLM

Thanks Michael,
I can't quite follow the pattern of the files. Do you know if there is any
doc. for editing these files.

I don't think there is a document published, but I would guess that the
lines that actually deal with the selections are the ones marked
"++[SERVERNAME].Novell Directory:\*.*" /SUBDIR
"++[SERVERNAME].NetWare File System:\*.*" /SUBDIR
The /OS_TYPE, /OS_SUBTYPE and /USERNAME lines are for the OS, any agents,
and the username entry in the password database that's used for the job. I'd
think if you're deleting selections, then you'd have to delete the
corresponding /OS_TYPE, etc lines as well as the selections.
