You may be able to do this with an external script. I'm currently testing such an approach for different reasons, but it may be useful in your case too. Define a fileset that delegates all the decisions regarding which file to include/exclude to an external script: FileSet { Name = test-fileset Include { Options { .... } Options { # Skip everything wild = "*" Exclude = yes } # generate file set at the client File = "\\|/path/to/fileset/generation/script/on/client/box <script parameters>" } } The script itself should include any logic you need for selecting files, e.g. #! /bin/bash find / -newermt 'Oct 1 2009' | sort -r which will find files/directories/named pipes etc. with a modification time newer than the specified date (note that the resulting list must be reverse sorted, to prevent directory contents from being excluded). Caveats: 0) the script is too simple 1) this is unix specific of course (I'm considering python for a cross platform solution) 2) the script resides at the client 3) unlike fileset modifications, script modifications will not trigger a full backup There may be other gotchas, but as I said, I'm still playing around with this. Hope this is more helpful than confusing :-) Avi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
