Advanced Filter Settings
Overview
This feature enables you to filter files/folders in a backup schedule by choosing the appropriate options in the available select boxes and entering the plain text that should be matched with the file/folder name "starts with/contains/ends with" that text.
How to get here in the GigaVaultStorage Web Console?
 In the top menu of Backup Client, select: "Backup -> Add Backup Schedule" page. Then click the "Files/Folders Filter" button available below the files/folders tree in Step 2.
Or select "Backup -> List Backup Schedules" page. Here click on the “Edit” icon and then the "Files/Folders Filter" button available below "List of files and folders selected for backup".
Advanced Filter Settings
In advanced file/folder filters you can either specify text patterns or enter the file/folder name you want to include/exclude.
You can specify text patterns matching specific file and folder names that you want to include or exclude. Like for example, you can add a filter to include only those files whose names start with 'a' under the selected folders or in their immediate sub folders. As another example, you could specify a filter to exclude folders whose names contain the text 'temp'.
You can also enter the file/folder name with or without absolute path. Like for example, if you enter the filename test.txt, then all files with the name "test.txt" under the selected directories will be matched. If you enter the entire path C:/Document and Settings/temp/test.txt, then only that specific file will be matched.
You can specify maximum 5 filters. The filters work independently of each other; i.e., if you have a filter to include files starting with 'a' and another filter to include files starting with 'b', then the backup will include files starting with 'a' and files starting with 'b'.
