Supported File System Filters

File Name

You can filter files by name patterns. For example, each asterisk (*) represents zero, one or many characters:

• *.doc

• *.*

• data*.*

  You can enter multiple keywords by separating them with "AND" or "OR" logical operators, in all capital letters. For example:

• *.docx AND data*

• *.txt OR *.xlsx

• *.docx data*

• Windows* OR Name*

  Notes:

• Patterns separated by spaces without a logical operator have an implied "AND" relationship.

• While you can use more than one operator, you cannot combine "AND" and "OR" logical operators.

  You can enter a keyword phrase that contain spaces, but you must enclose the keyword phrase in double quotation marks ("). For example, to find a file named my data, enter:

• "my data"

  Note: This form of keyword entry does not support wild cards.

Modified Date

You can filter files based on modification date. Options include:

• Today

• Yesterday

• This Week

• This Month

• This Year

  All folders that satisfy this filter are shown.

File Size

This can be used to filter files based on a size range in KB, MB or GB. Comparison options provided are:

• greater than

• less than

• greater than or equal to

• less than or equal to

Stubbed Objects

Use this to filter stubbed files that were backed up.

Contains

This filters file content against the words you enter. The results differ with different combinations of backup and content indexing jobs that ran on the client, as follows:

• This filter retrieves more-precise results when Content Indexing is enabled, and at least one Content Indexing job has been run after the last backup job.

• When Content Indexing is enabled, and other filters are used along with this filter, the results are retrieved from the combination of what got backed up and content indexed.

• If Content Indexing is not enabled, the reference copy job waits for Content Indexing to run on the source subclient. If data is pushed to multiple Content Indexing servers, data from the most-recent Content Indexing server is processed.

  Two or more filter words or phrases can be combined by placing "AND" or "OR" logical operators between the words. You cannot combine "AND" and "OR" logical operators.
