Directives don't apply to database modules.
I reviewed the NMM SQL VDI guide, and you can modify the nsrsqlsv command
with the -h option to exclude databases. Page 71 of the NMM 18.1 SQL VDI
User guide.

Subject: Directive to exclude certain MS SQL DBs when using Networker Module
for Microsoft Applications?
I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like to verify. I have a MS SQL
2012 server, and it's got a lot of databases. One is over 600G, another is
479G, etc. Having just one backup job (specifying MSSQL: as the selection
criteria) gives me over 2TB to clone to tape.
What I want is to break up that backup group into multiple groups, each with
different client entries with different directives For example, I can
specify MSSQL:Big600GDB, and it will get just that DB.
But I then need to make another client entry that specifies a directive to
exclude just that DB.
And how do you do that? I know how to exclude regular filesystem entries,
but how do you make a directive to exclude SQL DBs?
Is it as simple as
<< "S:\" >>
+skip: Big600GDB.*
like any regular filesystem skip? Most importantly, does that work with the
Networker Module for Microsoft Applications (which is how I backup my SQL
DBs)?
