I'm looking at backing up a bunch of our user's laptops. There's
some pretty decent explanation about how to put together jobs, so
I'm free and clear there.
Where I'm a bit fuzzy is in excluding files. There are a number of
file "types" that I don't want to waste tape backing up, but are
acceptable for our users to have on their laptops. Files such as
.mp3, for example.
I can't seem to find it documented anywhere, but can I just do:
FileSet{
Name = WindowsHomeDirs
Include{
File = "c:\Documents and Settings\"
}
Exclude{
File = "*.mp3"
}
}
Will the wildcard work as one would expect it to? If not, is there
another way to accomplish this?
As a side note, the _ideal_ circumstance would be to exclude files by
mime-type, as this would protect from case-[in]sensitivity issues as
well as poorly renamed files. I don't know how feasible this would
be on non-posix systems that don't have a "file" command ... ?
