Chapter 5: Selecting Files and Versions
65
You can select multiple attributes. With this filter applied, Data Protector Express only selects those files
that meet
all
of the required attributes.
Note that some of these attributes are only supported by certain operating systems. If you specify an
attribute that is specific to a particular operating system, then only files created under that operating
system will be selected for backup.
Exclude Attributes
This field works like the
Required attributes
field except that Data Protector Express excludes files that
match these attributes. For example, if you have checked the
Execute Only
box, Data Protector Express
will exclude from the backup job any files with the
Execute Only
attribute.
You can select multiple attributes. A file that has any one of these attributes will be excluded. For
example, if you mark the
Hidden
and
System
attributes, any file that has
either
attribute will be excluded.
Allow Parents
When this option is checked, Data Protector Express backs up the directory information for the parent
along with the file. This option must be checked in order for folders and other directory data to be backed
up. When this ption is not checked, Data Protector Express will not back up any parent information for
any file backed up.
Allow Children
When this option is checked, Data Protector Express backs up any files in the selected folders. If you
want to back up only the marked directories, however, you can clear this option. When the
Allow
Children
box is unchecked and the
Allow Parents
box is checked, Data Protector Express backs up the
directory structure, but not the files stored in the directories (that is, in the folders).
This option can be useful for replicating a complex directory structure. Begin by marking the directory
structure you wish to duplicate. Then clear the
Allow Children
option. Data Protector Express will back
up only the directory structure. You can then replicate that directory structure to any volume by restoring
the directory to that volume.
Media
Data Protector Express tracks versions of files and the media on which those versions are stored. You can
use this information to sort files according to the media on which they appear. Only files with versions on
the media in the
Media
field will be selected for the backup job. For example, if you select media named
“Daily Set:1,” Data Protector Express will only include files in the backup job which have a valid version
on the media named “Daily Set:1.”
To sort files according to the media on which they appear, click the
Add...
button and select the media
from the
Browse
window. Note that you must select a Media object, not a Media folder or User/Group
folder. If there are multiple media shown in the
Media
filter field, only files which have a valid version
on
all
the media listed will be selected.
This filter has limited applications for backup jobs. One way to use it, however, would be in the case of
media you know is corrupt or damaged. To back up a new version of every file on that damaged media,
begin by creating a new job and then selecting the appropriate Network or Machine object on the
Selection
page. Then open the
Selection Filters
window by clicking on the
Selection Filters
button. Add
the damaged media to the
Media
field. Then set the
Backup mode
on the job’s
Options page
to
Copy.
