Is there any way I can filter a group of directories that begin with a '_' in one statement instead of listing each directory

Hello,

Is there way to put a mask so I can filter by the date?, I mean, we have a repository where every day we move certain quantity of folders containing a lot of files each one, and when the process that generates them finish we need to run a second one before start to transfer them with all their contents to a definitive repository. Since this is done in a dayly basis we have been able to create a folder with the current date as name (eg. "07-02-2006") and in this way we would handle it to transfer its contents only selecting the corresponding folder to the today's previous day.

In other words what I generate on monday it will be transfered to a definitive repository until thuesday, what we generate on thuesday we will transfer it until wednesday and so on.

Notes: we need the most possible automated process for this task and I don't know how to make to work two profiles using VVLaucher as a service

I hope I explained myself.

Thanks

Did you check the Date/Size File Filters in VV PRO 2 ? See Profile Settings, File Filter section, then click on Date/Size File Filters ... do they help with your scenario?

Hi,

For archiving there is no specific option to filter folders. though I might need this.

let say I use VV to backup a drive: (d Smile

And I want to keep a backup archive.
BUT... the subfolder (d:\servers\logs\) and all it's subfolders do need to be backuped but not archived...

What would the filter for this look like....

Try using this archive file filter:

d:\servers\logs\*

There are no subfolder filters for the archive function because subfolders are not archived (only if a file in a subfolder is archived then the corresponding folder is created)

thanks
