ALL NETBACKUP 7.0 UNIX/LINUX CLIENTS utilizing exclude lists which include "*" wildcards
A quick summary of the issue(s) covered in this Alert:
If your include list entry contains the asterisk wildcard, the entry may unintentionally match - and exclude - files which only match a substring of that entry. For example, a common exclusion is *.dbf - but due to this issue, that entry not only matches files ending in .dbf, but also files ending in .db, .d or even a single period (.) - this can lead to a lot of files and/or directories getting excluded which the customer is expecting to be able to restore!
