That filter should work but you have to apply it to all subclients either thru global filters and then at the client or thru the client manually, in version 8 you have a comcell level policy and this makes it easier, also for anyone else reading v8 allows you to retain all jobs at one time, instead of one at a time

Commvaultdude,
Yup the filter is applied correctly.
I have a few other filters that do seem to work and they have a \** on the end.
*:\**\Disksets*\**
*:\**\I386*\**
*:\**\RECYCLER*\**
So I'm thinking I probably need to add that to my .pst one.
Although I thought the above template meant the following:
*:\ = drive letter
**\ = any folder/sub-folder
"disksets*" = called disksets
\** = any sub-folders of "disksets"
And as I'm just wanting to filter .pst's, would've thought the \** at the end is not needed?
