Your exclude list should be in the NetBackup installation directory (typically \
/usr/openv/netbackup on UNIX/Linux) and named for the policy you're using.
exclude_list.<POLICYNAME> e.g. if your policy were called something like SOLARISOS \
you'd name the exclude exclude_list.SOLARISOS.
It is a simple text file.
To exclude the files you got errors on you could do:
/etc/sysevent/sysevent_door
/etc/sysevent/devfsadm_event_channel/1
/etc/sysevent/devfsadm_event_channel/reg_door
/etc/sysevent/syseventconfd_event_channel/reg_door
/home/*
/net
/platform/sun4v/lib/libc_psr.so.1
/platform/sun4v/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1
/proc
/system/contract
/system/object
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0
Notes on above:
If everything in /etc/sysevent was a Door file you could just exclude /etc/sysevent \
rather than the 4 individual files.
Excluding /home/* says to exclude everything under the directory but to backup the \
directory name itself. That way on a restore it would make the mount point for you.
/net, /proc are sufficient (as opposed to /net/* and /proc/*) because these \
filesystems are pseudo filesystems created at boot so don't need to be restored like \
/home to be mountpoints.
I'm not sure what the 3 filesystem types (lofs, objfs and ctfs) are. It appears \
NetBackup doesn't understand those filesystem types but you might want to research \
them to be sure you know what they are and whether they have anything that would be \
lost in a system crash. Excluding them makes sense as NetBackup apparently won't \
back them up but you need to understand their use and importance for possible future \
system recovery.

Dear All,
Appreciated for your prompt reply
If possible, as a example may I request to share your exclude list.
With Warm Regards

We use the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES as our backup selection on Solaris OS backups and then \
have exclude lists on each host to make sure we don't back up any application \
specific files (like oracle dbf, rdo and arc files) which will get backed up using \
other policies. As mentioned below, selecting the "cross mount points" check box can \
lead to HUGE backups being taken because it will attempt to backup data residing on \
NFS shares etc... For example, we have our Data Domain appliances mounted as NFS \
shares on some of our Solaris servers. If we used the "Cross Mount Points" option \
each OS backup would attempt to backup 100+TB of compressed data residing on the Data \
Domain appliances. This is obviously not required.

Door files on Solaris, socket files on any flavor of UNIX/Linux, /proc and others are \
special files that can't be backed up and don't need to be as they are created on the \
fly on the system on which they exist. To prevent your backup with exiting with a \
status 1 (which means generally successful) you could add the files complained about \
to your exclude list.
The autofs stuff is for NFS mounts. In addition to cross mount points you'd have to \
enable crossing NFS boundaries. Note that this generally is NOT necessary or \
desirable because the files are typically backed up on the system that exported the \
NFS share. On the Solaris host if you do "df /home" it should show you which system \
the share was exported from and you should be able to verify whether that system is \
being backed up separately. You do NOT want to backup /net as it is shortcut to all \
visible shares whether they are used on the system or not so you might end up backing \
up data from multiple other systems that a) is being backed up on those systems \
already and b) is not actually necessary for the running of the system you're \
currently backing up. Here again I'd suggest adding /net at least to your exclude \
and /home if it is in fact being backed up from the system that exports it to this \
one.

Dear All,
We have setting up a Master/Media server running on Windows 2008 (64 bit) server. \
Where I am trying to do a backup of Sun Solaris clients.
In the Standard Backup Policy. In the Policy attributes I am using "cross mount \
points" and in backup selection "/" i.e. I want to backup the whole root file system
But during the backup, I am not able to cover the whole root file system and it is \
keep skipping some of the files.

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We \
use the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES as our backup selection on Solaris OS backups and then have \
exclude lists on each host to make sure we don’t back up any application \
specific files (like oracle dbf, rdo and arc files) which will get backed up using \
other policies. As mentioned below, selecting the “cross mount \
points” check box can lead to HUGE backups being taken because it will attempt \
to backup data residing on NFS shares etc… For example, we have our Data \
Domain appliances mounted as NFS shares on some of our Solaris servers. If we \
used the “Cross Mount Points” option each OS backup would attempt to \
backup 100+TB of compressed data residing on the Data Domain appliances. \
This is obviously not required.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span \

<p class="MsoNormal"><span \
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Door \
files on Solaris, socket files on any flavor of UNIX/Linux, /proc and others are \
special files that can’t be backed up and don’t need to be as they are \
created on the fly on the system on which they exist. To prevent your \
backup with exiting with a status 1 (which means generally successful) you could add \
the files complained about to your exclude list.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p \

<p class="MsoNormal"><span \
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The \
autofs stuff is for NFS mounts. In addition to cross mount points \
you’d have to enable crossing NFS boundaries. Note that this generally is \
NOT necessary or desirable because the files are typically backed up on the system \
that exported the NFS share. On the Solaris host if you do “df \
/home” it should show you which system the share was exported from and you \
should be able to verify whether that system is being backed up \
separately.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span \
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">You \
do NOT want to backup /net as it is shortcut to all visible shares whether they are \
used on the system or not so you might end up backing up data from multiple other \
systems that a) is being backed up on those systems already and b) is not actually \
necessary for the running of the system you’re currently backing up. Here \
again I’d suggest adding /net at least to your exclude and /home if it is in \
fact being backed up from the system that exports it to this \
one.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span \
