jcagle Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I would like to only copy a few folders on all machines on our network. We are using a variety of OS X versions. Basically I want to copy each user's Desktop and Documents folder along with their /Users/<username>/Library/Mail/ Directory. I am also excluding a variety of folders and files. Here are my inclusions and exclusions. I can successfully copy the Desktop and Documents folder but the /Users/Mail/<username>/Library/Mail/ directory does not copy. I have tried to put a wildcard to represent the user but that does not seem to work. Below is a list of my inclusions and exclusions. Inclusions Any Folder Mac Path contains /Users/ Folder is Windows Folder Documents and Settings Folder Windows Path contains \Users\ Folder Unix Path contains /usr/ Exclusions Any Folder Mac Path contains Applications Folder Mac Path contains Quarantine Folder Mac Path contains System Folder Mac Path contains diradmin Folder Mac Path contains aetechstudent Folder Mac Path contains Movies Folder Mac Path contains Music Folder Mac Path contains Pictures Folder Mac Path contains .Trashes Folder Mac Path contains .Trash Folder Mac Path contains Calendars Folder Mac Path contains Dropbox File Name contains .caf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Folder Mac Path contains /Users/ Are you saying that individual users' mail folders are not being copied with this condition in your rule? Or are you trying to create a different, more-restrictive rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagle Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 They are being included, yet it is including all the other Library items as well. I would love to use a wildcard to represent the user path. For now I am going to exclude a majority of the library directories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagle Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 The problem is that one client computer gets files from the /Users/*/Library/ directory but another client computer does not receive the /Users/*/Library/ directory. I am not sure what the issue is. I cannot seem to consistently backup data on client machines. Which renders the software useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's possible that the problem client has blocked access to their user Library folder. The default is to enable clients to do this, but you can change this capability either globally (in Retrospect's Preferences:Client window) or for the specific client in the Sources window. If you access and attempt to browse this client's source volume from the Retrospect server, are you able to view inside /Users/*/Library?
