* Substitutes for zero or more characters. Can be used in truncation and for multiple
characters. If used in a pathname, it cannot replace a forward slash (/). Use * for all possible
alternative spellings and an unlimited number of characters within a name.
For example, h*ophilia substitutes for all names containing h+<any character or number
of characters>+ophilia, such as haemophilia, hemophilia, or h.123ophelia; behavi*r
substitutes for all names containing behavi+<any character or number of characters>+r,
such as behaviour, behavior, or behavi123.zr; patent* substitutes for only all names
containing patent+<a character or any number of characters>, such as patents,
patentable, patented, patent123, and so on; patent*.jpg substitutes for only all names
containing patent+<a character or any number of characters>+.jpg, such as patents.jpg,
patentable.jpg, patented.jpg, patent123.jpg, etc; *.jpg substitutes for only all names containing
<any character or set of characters>+.jpg.
? Substitutes for any single character and can be combined to denote multiple
characters. If used in a pathname, it cannot replace a forward slash (/). Use ? for specific
alternative spellings. ? substitutes for a single character; ?? substitutes for two characters;
??? substitutes for three characters, and so on. Only names with characters equal to the
number of ? used are processed. For example, cell? substitutes for all names containing cell
+<one additional character>.
For example, cells and cello but not cell. You can use ? within or at the end of a phrase. For
example, .xl? substitutes for only names containing .xl+<a third character>, such as .xls, .
xlr, and so on; wom?n substitutes for only names containing wom+<a third character>+n,
such as woman or women; carbon fib?? substitutes for only names containing carbon fib+
<two characters>, such as carbon fiber or carbon fibre.
In the Vault, Media Name, or Storage Pool fields, substitute the appropriate wildcard
character for any letter or letters. For example, lets say you have four Vaults:
Accounting
Administrative
Development
Sarbanes-Oxley
And, you want to migrate data only to Vaults named "Accounting" and "Actuarial". In the Vault
field, you would enter Ac*, and data will be stored only to Vaults beginning with Ac, regardless
of what comes after c. The same type of scenario would pertain if you wanted to use wildcards
in the Media Name field.
When you use a wildcard in the Vault field, only media and storage pools associated with the
selected Vault are displayed in the Media Name and Storage Pool fields. For example, if you
enter j* in the Vault field, only Media and Storage Pools in Vaults beginning with j will appear
in the Media Name and Storage Pool fields. The functionality is similar for Media Name. For
example, if you enter Ni*, only storage pools beginning with Ni will be displayed in the Storage
Pool field.
