Skip Directive On A Netware Client

[Carboloy]

Trying to setup a skip directive to skip *.mpa and *.mpg files on a Netware server and they still backup. The directive is as follows:

<< &quot;NSSVOLEPARTMENTS/SAFTEY/PEAK32/&quot; >>
+skip: *.mpg
+skip: *.mpa


So the fileserver is called FS0 and the volume on that server is NSSVOL: the path in NSSVOL is departments/safety/peak32/ . In the peak32 folder there are 10 subdirectories and within each of those 10 directories there are folders containing *.mpg and *.mpa files. I figured this directive would skip all mpg and mpa files within NSSVOLEPARTMENTS/SAFTEY/PEAK32/ and all the directories below it, but it's not. Any ideas?


Thanks!

We've retired nearly all of our Netware stuff here, and none of them ever ran any NSS volumes, so I don't know if this applies...

Directory and filenames are limited to 8 characters, so your &quot;DEPARTMENTS&quot; folder is probably &quot;DEPARTME&quot;. The truncation method does not follow the Windows method of ~0 renaming.

Try browsing (from within the Netware client), and see what name the *client* thinks that directory is.

It's also case sensitive.
*.mpg is not the same as *.MPG
