In some cases, files with a “~” in the name can be created and saved, even including folder paths through NFS mounts or other means. When this character is included in a Unitrends Agent backup exclusion list for Novell, the backup will fail.</p> <h3 data-id="resolution">Resolution</h3> <p>Remove the exclusion from the list, or edit the filename or path so the “~” character does not need to appear in the backup exclusion list to successfully exclude the requested data.</p> <h3 data-id="third-party-sources">Third-Party Sources</h3> </article> </main>
