Filtering on NetWare

[Cyklops]

Can anyone help me out with a proper syntax for the usage of filters on ARCserve for Netware. Except for the extension filters (*.doc etc..) I cannot seem to get filtering right on a NetWare server.
When I, for example, want to filter out data using the file pattern of directory filter, what is the proper way to apply this ???

thanks in advance

regards

Here it is from the online help with version 11. If your version is different check the online help in case there are differences. Filters can be put at the global level via the Filter button, or a local level by right clicking on the system name.

Directory Filter

The Directory filter allows you to exclude or include files in entire directories. As with the File Pattern filter, you can enter an entire directory name, or provide a pattern that the directory name follows.

For example, setting a filter to include the \user directory includes all of the files in the \user directory with your job. If you enter: "use*", all directories that begin with the letters "use" will be included with your job (user, users, userdoc and so on).

The following table shows you how to specify paths for Microsoft Network machines and NetWare servers:

Pattern
What it means
Example

DRIVE:\PATH
An absolute path on your local hard drive.
C:\WINNT\MSAPPS

C:\WIN*

\\MACHINE\PATH
An absolute path on any network drive.
\\ENG\DOS

\PATH
An absolute path on any network drive.
\WINNT\MSAPPS

\WIN*

DRIVEIR_NAME
The directory may be in any other directory on the specified drive.
C:MSAPPS

C:MS*

DIR_NAME
The directory may be in any other directory on any network drive.
MSAPPS

*APPS

Thanks for your reply David, I have done some testing but my problems seem to be related to the Windows Manager.
Filters of jobs submitted from the console work out right, from the manager they don't.
