Need to backup just one type of file.

[jemurray]

I am trying to configure a client to backup just one type of file in about 180 different directories but all under the same parent directory. I do not want to backup anything else in the directory. This is what I have so far:

For the client save set:
C:\name of directory

For the Directive:
<<"C:\name of directory">>
+skip *
<<"C:\name of directory">>
+always: *.extension of file

Of course, this isn't working and is skipping everything (but making an index). I have not tried using a wildcard in the save set, nor do I know exactly how to word the directive.

I don't think you need to the + sign in front of always, or at least in my .nsr I do not include it. also the other directives do not use it.

Hi,

be carefull, with the combination +skip and alwys you can handle only one Directory (withc seems ok in your case) but you can not walk through the diretory tree because files and dirs are handled the same in the original unix code (whyever)

We hat the problem on novell with networker and Legato programmed for us findfiles.nlm to get rid of this.
