Hi, I have been a frequent reader of these articles in this forum for a while and always found it useful. Now it's my turn to post my own '1st' question here. A policy backup selection problem, and I wanted to know how to make things as effcient as I possbile can.
I have a request to backup a specific set of file selections on a linux client along the lines of the following:-
/Top_lvl/2nd_lvl/Variable-pxx/LOTS-of-Options/SameOption/*
But the sub folder 'pxx' currently ranges from p0 to p31 different sub folders and the 'LOTS-of-Options' folder has 5-6 folders chioces, of which I only actually want to pick 1 specific folder to capture the 'SameOption' which all the other 'Variable-pxx' also share (so don't worry about that part) basically that would be a constant and exact folder name at the end.
In reality it is like this: /naab1/parts/p{0-31}/mfs_16way_000/migration (I know Linux doesn't acept the brackets but it would have been nice)
I have tried lots of variations of this eg
/Top_lvl/2nd_lvl/*/LOTS-of-Options/SameOption/* /Top_lvl/2nd_lvl/p*/LOTS-of-Options/SameOption/*
/Top_lvl/2nd_lvl/p%%/LOTS-of-Options/SameOption/*
I EVEN tried adding in the FULL Range of 32 selections to the policy and it still only did the 1st p0 folder
/Top_lvl/2nd_lvl/p0/LOTS-of-Options/SameOption/* through to /Top_lvl/2nd_lvl/p31/LOTS-of-Options/SameOption/*
When I checked in the BAR GUI only p0 was ever backed up. Does anyone know how a 1 line backup selection like the one 1 have in reality would work?
if ONLY it would accept a p{0-32} Type of logic then the whole thing would work with 1 line.
I hope I haven't confused you all and I would really appreciated some thoughts and ideas as it's bugging the kaka out of me :)
I have considered Excludes files but I thought that surely there is a way to do this on 1 line of text.
PS I'm running NBv 7.1 on linux masters and medias (some media srv are still at v7.0)
