Patch ID: HF050001960-05

* 2930831 (Tracking ID: 2923139)

SYMPTOM:
vomgather archives logs with DB and store which makes archive very large and
takes long time to archive.

DESCRIPTION:
vomgather collects all data in var dir including DB and stores directory. This
increases the size of the archive and it takes long time to archive.

RESOLUTION:
Modifed vomgather.pl and vom_bkup.pl with default option to not collect DB 
and stores and provide an option "--full" to collect everything including DB and
stores.

* 2969824 (Tracking ID: 2981329)

SYMPTOM:
DB is getting collected multiple times with vombackup utility in HA environment.

DESCRIPTION:
During HA configuration old var dirs are archived into SFMha_dir/SFMha.tar.
During backup, this file is also getting backed up, this causes backing up of DB
multiple times.

RESOLUTION:
Modified vom_bkup.pl to exclude the SFMha.tar file from getting backup.
