Creating a Folder List

A folder list is used to identify specific folders you want to include in a backup.

To create a folder list for an existing control group, take the following steps from the Work with Backup Control Groups display:

1. Place a 2 (Edit entries) next to the control group to which you want to add the list, and press Enter.
2. At the Edit Control Group Entries display, type a sequence number at the top of the Opt column and press F23. This takes you to the Work with Backup Lists display.

8. Following are brief summaries of the key parameters on this display:
   • In the Seq field, place a number that reflects the order in which you want to save the item.
   • In the Folder field, specify the name of the folder or subfolder that you want to save in the list. You can specify actual or generic folder names.
   • In the *INC/*EXC field, specify *INC to include the folder or subfolder during backup processing, or *EXC to exclude the folder or subfolder.
9. After changing the parameters as needed, press Enter twice to save and to return to the Work with Backup Lists display. You can now see the name of your folder list in list of backup items.
10. Press Enter again to return to the Edit Backup Control Group Entries display. Type the name of the list in the Backup items column, the list type in the List type column, and press Enter. BRMS saves the new list in the control group you specified, in this case, the SAMPLE control group.
    Note:

    When doing incremental saves of folder lists, if there are multiple folders listed, BRMS will always do a full save of the folder list. This is a restriction on the SAVDLO command which BRMS uses.
