[FW-1] Provider-1 R55w "mds_backup" command and mds_exclude.dat file

[cisco4ng [Permanent Link]]

Hi All,
   
  this is what I am seeing in the default $MDSDIR/conf/mds_exclude.dat file on 
my 
  Provider-1 R55w:
   
  # more mds_exclude.dat
CPmds-R55/tmp/*
CPshrd-R55/tmp/*
CPshared/5.0/tmp/CKP*
CPshared/5.0/tmp/*.pid
CPmds-R55/customers/*/CPfw1-R55/tmp/*
CPmds-R55/customers/*/CPshrd-R55/tmp/*
CPmds-R55/customers/*/CPfw1-R55/log/*
#

  Does it mean that whenever I run "mds_backup", the CMAs log files are NOT 
included
  in the mds_backup.  When did Checkpoint start excluding CMAs log files from 
  mds_backup?  I do not recall seeing this Provider-1 NG Feature Pack 3 unless 
I go 
  into the mds_exclude.dat and modify the file itself.
   
  Comments please.  Thanks.
