cgtyoder Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 [R Single Server 7.7.620 on Windows Server 2003 Std SP2] I am having trouble specifying excluding a Mac OS X (10.9) directory in my Proactive Backup script. I want to exclude /System/Library/Caches/ (and everything beneath it), but I haven't figured out the correct Condition which works. I've tried a (Mac OS) path as above and also as "My Volume:System:Library:Caches:" (without the quotes), but to no avail. Any suggestions as to how to specify the correct path? (Yes, I realize this is setup is ancient, but what can I say - it works.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 If you have access to the client a possible alternative would be to specify this folder as a 'Private Files/Folders/Volumes' in the 'Retrospect Client Preferences' dialog at the client. I use this method to exclude cache folders and the like from backup on my Windows Clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgtyoder Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Scillonian, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, on the Mac client (6.3.029), the only way to specify "Private Folder/File" is by pre- or appending the bullet character ("•") to the file/dir name. And since this is in /System/, it's off-limits to rename - that is sure to break things. I guess I'll have to experiment more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your version of RS Server give access to the *Unix* Path condition? If so, try that with "begins with" and "/System/Library/Caches".

Daniels Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Try using the mac directory delimiter ":" as opposed to the Windows delimiter "\". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
