VitaminWater Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) i feel i may be looking at this in the wrong sense, maybe another set of eyes will help. I'm trying to create a rule to allow exceptions for my backups. In the attached image you can see that if the source host name is AA Begin ( my machine ) then include files that end with .avi. However, i want to block .avi files on machines that AREN'T AA Begin. I'm testing this by putting a .avi file and a .mp3 file into a folder and backing it up. While implementing this rule it avoids both files. Is the attached image the right setup for this? ------- On another note, when running a backup of around 90 folders the engine seems to crash within the first 10 clients. After reviewing the OSX console i believe the error is happening within the following lines of code. 7/6/09 11:04:16 AM com.retrospect.RetroEngine[4291] #3> #3> ~TMonitor::Exit: couldn't unlock pthread_mutex: 2, result 1, count 0, m_count 0 Thanks for the help!

Mayoff Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I don't think this will work. You first tell it to include .avi then you tell it to exclude .avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminWater Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) So at this current time is their no way to accomplish a type of rule i'm talking about? Of course, another way around it would be to have different scripts for different users, but id like to try and figure out a way to do this with rules.

aiharris Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Pardon me, but this seems too simple a solution to address the problem, but I'll put it forward anyway. In the first half, change the "any" to "all" then drop the exclusions altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiharris Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 One additional comment, in order to get the "and" you have to "option click" the "+" sign (see release notes, it is buried, but it is there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 see release notes, it is buried, but it is there It's also in the Finder, similarly buried. Note Step #4 in this Apple KB article, which omits any mention of the Option key in constructing find criteria! http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/14130.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
