Directive Problem
Hey,
What is wrong with this directive? I am trying to backup only non bak and dif typed files. It ignores the directive and backups all directory. I assigned the directive to the client and the save set is "D:\Backup\ANKDB" also. Server and client version is 7.4.5. Thanks.
< >
+skip: *.BAK
+skip: *.DIF

Hi Sturm
Try put quotes in directory
<<"D:\Backup\ANKDB"'>>
+skip: *.BAK
+skip: *.DIF

I have had troubles with such directives earlier also so not sure what the problem is. How it worked for me was to create a .dir file in the folder on the client i.e. d:\backup\ankdb with two lines +skip: *.bak & +skip: *.dif. Try this out.

Interesting.
Strum, the client is obviously Windows, however is the Server Linux or Solaris by any chance?

You want to skip both *.BAK and *.bak

+skip: *.BAK
+skip: *.DIF
+skip: *.bak

That's typical for NW and Windows. You either use \\, or quotes or / instead of \ and it will work. The way code operates is still the way UNIX works and single \ there means something else.
