greetings, happy new year to everyone!
I have a FAQ, I assume, but my googling and RTFM didn't help me so far, sorry.
At a customer I have to set up various Jobs to backup a huge directory with
movies. I want to split that into several smaller jobs by using Filesets.
So I asked an LLM:
# this should backup only files and directories
# starting with "a-g" or "A-G"
Not sure it's the best result you can get :-)
I would probably suggest to just call "ls" from a dynamic fileset command
something such as
Include {
File = "\\|sh -c 'ls -d /home/[a-gA-G]*'"
}
To be tested, and if the escaping is causing an issue, it can be stored
in a local script.
Hope it helps!
Best Regards,
Eric
Fileset {
Name = "films-A-G"
Include {
File = "/data/multimedia/films"
Options {
Regex = ".*/[A-Ga-g][^/]*$"
}
}
}
That doesn't seem to work, and more or less looks wrong to me.
What's the way to go here?
Regex? Wildfile? WildDir?
trial and error is a bit problematic, as these jobs are terabytes in size
quickly.
Do I remember correctly that someone posted some test-script for such cases?
thanks in advance ...
