Buffalo Surveillance Server
When entering pathnames or pathname searching patterns, only the forward slash
(/) may be used as a pathname delimiter. If you use a backslash (\), as is
customary on some platforms, you may get unexpected results.
Wildcard Operators for Vault, Media Name, and Storage Pool
The Buffalo Surveillance Server supports the following wildcards with case sensitive alpha
characters in the Vault, Media Name, and Storage Pool fields:
* for zero or more of any character
? for any single character
Use the pull-down control for Vault, Media Name, and/or Storage
Pool, and then select <new entry>. A window will appear into
which you can enter the new name for the field that you have
select. Enter the new Vault, Media Name, or Storage Pool, and
then click [ OK ]. The new entry will appear in field's pull-down
list.
This method is recommended only for special circumstances. If
you try to run a job with a Vault or media that is not actually
running in the Information Repository, the job will fail.
<any> will divide the names of Vaults, media, and storage pools
already implemented from the names that you have added for
Vaults, media, and storage pools that have not yet been
implemented. In other words, the names above <any> represent
Vaults, media, or storage pools actually running in your
Information Repository. The names below the divider are the
ones that you have entered that do not yet have hardware
implemented in the Information Repository. These will not be
saved if they are not selected when you save the policy.
Limitations to adding a new name for Vault, Media Name, or
Storage Pool:
If you enter a new name for a Vault, Media Name and Storage
Pool options will be limited to <any> and <new entry>.
New entries in Media Name or Storage Pool do not limit options
in the remaining fields.
If you add a wildcard (for example, Ac*), the wildcard will appear
beneath <any> even thought there may be Vaults in the
Information Repository the wildcard comprises.
