When protecting Linux clients, the selection list options are different than the generic behaviors described in the File-level Backups chapter. Like all client types, inclusion lists for selective backups and exclusion lists for full, differential, and incremental backups are supported. However, for Linux clients with agent 8.0 or higher, inclusion lists are also supported for full, incremental, and differential backups. Any selection lists applied to a Linux full backup must be applied to all subsequent incremental and differential backups in the backup group. For more information, see Using selection lists with full, differential, and incremental backups.
Note: Any backup group using an inclusion list is ineligible for bare metal recovery. Create bare medal media for the full disk. Inclusion lists can then be applied to client aliases. For more information, see Working with client aliases.
