Hi, sorry to be a pain but if someone out there can help me, it would be truly appreciated.

Best,

Andrew

Not AFAIK

You can select by file type, and last accesed before, but about all that I can think of for size would be to run a script before the backup. using whatever scripting language you want, move or copy the large files to a separate folder, and then backup just that folder.

Thanks for the reply.

Do you know which product I would have to buy to get this kind of functionality? I work with developers who can generate large dump files, among other things, and this functionality would be very useful.

I could try the hack you mention, but I fear the size of the files would mean that moving them would take all night! Also, they are to be excluded, rather than included.

Cheers,

Andrew

If you click on the Advanced button while in job setup it gives you the option to Include or exclude based on filename. You could choose to exclude the dump files based on their extension, however I do not of any way to exclude based on file size...

Good luck.

Thanks - I already employ that method of excluding these files. My bodge for this was to search for all files above a certain size in the filesystem in question, look at their extensions, and exclude these. Does the job but would prefer to do it with one directive!

Cheers,

Andrew
