File Date Filters
In the File Date Filters dialog box, you have the option to copy files based on dates and three
separate attributes:
If you select No, all files are copied. If you select Yes, you can enter date ranges for the file copy.
You can select as many criteria as you would like, and only those files that meet all of the selected
criteria are copied.
Two dates can be set for each attribute. The first date is an On or After date and the second is an On
or Before date. For example, if you select only On or Before and set the date for November 10, 2000,
for the Accessed attribute, only those files accessed on or before November 10, 2000, are copied. In
the same example, if you also select On or After and set the date to October 1, 2000, only those files
accessed on or after October 1, 2000, and on or before November 10, 2000, are copied.

3 Click Next.
NOTE: On a Windows 2000/XP workstation, the Last Accessed date might not be reported
correctly for files on NetWare volumes. The workstation might report a Last Accessed date that is
one day off from the actual date on the file. Because the Server Consolidation Utility reads this date
for the date filter settings, the date filters for the Last Accessed time might seem to be off by one
day. However, the Server Consolidation Utility is working as designed based on the dates being
reported to it.
Excluded File Extensions
In the Excluded File Extensions dialog box, you have the option to exclude specific file types or file
names from the copy process. Wildcards are permitted.
A wildcard is a character that can be used to represent one or more characters in a search. The two
most commonly used wildcards are the question mark (?) and the asterisk (*).

combination of file types and dates to be copied.
To change the date from the default provided, check the box next to the desired date. Next,
highlight with your mouse the portion of the date you want to change. Either type a new value
using the keyboard number pad, or use the mouse to click the up- and down-arrows provided to
the immediate right of the date field.
The question mark (?) is used to represent a single alphanumeric character in a search
expression.
For example, typing te?t.txt would exclude tent.txt, test.txt, and text.txt
from the copy process.
The asterisk (*) is used to specify zero or more alphanumeric characters in a search expression.
