Filter Question

[SteveP]

I'm not sure if this can be filtered or not. I want to do a "Backup (mirror source to target). The current source directory structure looks like this.

\\servername\home1 <----- Hundreds of directories
|
\home2 <----- Hundreds of directories
|
\home3 <----- Hundreds of directories

I want to get all the source directories in the home1, home2 and home3 folders into one target directory structure.

\\servername\Users <----- All the directories from above

Can this be done using a filter to maintain a mirror copy of this data?

Thanks,

Hi, you could have 3 source-target pairs in the profile:

\servername\home1\ <-> \\servername\Users\
\servername\home2\ <-> \\servername\Users\
\servername\home3\ <-> \\servername\Users\

then a subfolder like

\servername\home1\folder\ is copied to \\servername\Users\folder\

thanks

I created the 3 source target pairs and everything copied just as I wanted. However, when I run the job again to detect any changes in the source it wants to delete most of the folders in the target that it copied earlier?

Hi, you are copying 3 folders to the same target, if you do not want to delete target files you can use one of the replication methods: http://www.tgrmn.com/web/kb/item27.htm or copy the 3 sources to a different target each and still use backup. thanks
