auto-discovery streaming mode policy backup selections list syntax
I have a 7+TB Windows client that I need to break up into multiple streams. It looks like auto-discovery streaming mode will do the job but I do not understand the required syntax for the policy backup selections list. Is the following valid? Will it create a stream for each directory in E:
E:\*\
Some help panels say “\” (backslash) is treated as an escape character when followed by a wildcard.
At one point this example is given but there is no explanation of what files are backed up:
C:\test\*.exe
Would the above backup the file “test*.exe”, or all the files in C: that start with “test” and end with “.exe”, or maybe all of the files ending with “.exe” in directory c:\test
Another section shows using “Unix” syntax for Windows selections. I think that means I would need /e/*/
Thanks,

First some T/N:
Wildcard use in NetBackup on Windowshttp://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO34548How to include/exclude files in a range for NetBackup Windows clients, using wildcardhttp://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH17539DOCUMENTATION: Clarification of the use of wild cards in a policy's file list.http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH37686Then some answers:A file selection of e:\* will create one backup stream per directory or file. Be carefully not creating 100 of backup streams - that will bring down the client. Some sort of directory management is needed on the client.c:\test\*.exe will only backup .exe files in directory c:\test.If you wan't to do some basic regular expression study check out wikipedia at:
