Exclude Attributes; Allow Parents; Allow Children; Media - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
