Pokeseven Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello, I've looked through the Retrospect 8 user guide as well as the forum. I'd like to find out if its possible to 'Favourite' a single file rather then a folder when selecting sources to backup. Selecting individual files is useful as i'd like to backup individual user preference files rather then their entire library- ie: a users stickiesdatabase any suggestions would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Yes, it's called a Rule (used to be called a selector, in oldspeak). In reality, regardless of what it's called, it's just a filter. If the preferences files are localized, it would be VERY timesaving to mark the folder (or filesystem subtree) as a "Favorite" and then apply the rule to select individual files. Just list the desired files in a rule. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeseven Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Makes sense however can i apply more then 1 rules to a script!? i have a script setup to backup all my desktop clients: - for Client A i need to ensure his Parallels file is not getting back - for client B i need to ensure that only his StickiesDatabase & safari p.list are being backed up from the user library folder… the remainder of the clients can be backed as Favourited … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Why not just make three scripts? It might be a lot easier than trying to massage/test one rule that would meet all needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
