Robocopy - exclude destination files from /MIR

Attempting to do a nightly run of robocopy while we transfer over to a new file server. We've a load of extra files with an offline attribute on the destination, which are files archived by Enterprise Vault which we moved in advance, and so these must not
be touched.
If I do robocopy source destination /MIR /XA:O, all these files still get deleted. Shouldn't the exclude switch apply to files on the destination as well as the source?

Thanks for the Replies.
Aaron, that doesn't seem to be the case, /MIR /XA:O doesn't exclude offline files that are on the destination only
Shaon, there are no files on the source that have the offline attribute, they've been moved over to the destination server already using a different (very slow) process, and now I want to keep the normal files in sync, including copying over new files
and deleting any files that no longer exist on the source, without deleting the files with an offline attribute. /xn would allow me to copy the newly changed files over, but I can't think of a way of deleting files on the destination.
I may have to go with just /xn, which isn't perfect

Using robocopy to copy files from a network share over a WinRS command line session

Hello,
Preface: Using server 2008 enterprise.
I can't seem to get robocopy to function over WinRS and I'm not sure where the problem actually lies. Running robocopy locally on the computer does work fine, but as soon as I try to run it through a remote command prompt through the WinRS client or directly with the WinRS client I get an access denied message (error 5).
I've tried using runas while logged into the remote command prompt as well, thinking that it could have been some sort of permissions inheritence issue.
I've checked the permissions on the remote file share, I've even given 'Everyone', 'Anonymous Logon' and the computer's active directory account full control over the folder and the file I'm trying to copy, but still get the access denied error.
I've tried using /COPY:DT since I read that usually resolved error 5 issues.
None of these things have worked.
I'm kind of out of ideas, I've read some blogs of people who have written powershell scripts which use winrm/robocopy so I figure I'm missing something stupid. Or maybe I've stumbled upon a bug?

Yep, I verified permissions on them all :(
To maybe complicate the issue, I looked at the environment variables for myself while logged in locally to the computer and through WinRS and they look to be the same.
EDIT: Out of pure frustration I wrote a quick console application which impersonates the currently logged in user and copies a file from the network share I'm trying to access to the local computer. The application properly impersonates the user - but does not copy the files while it's run through WinRM. When you run the application as a locally logged in user it works just fine.
WinRM must be behaving goofy :(
This is the output of the following application:

Is it possible to exclude tagged files from Time Machine backups in OS X Mavericks?

E.g. I want to exclude all files and folders tagged "red" from backups.

There may be an Applescript to do this. There is no front end feature to automate this process. You would have to manually exclude given files/folders.
Try posting in the Mac OS X Technologies forum and ask about an Applescript to do so.
Well, that's wrong.
There is:

Exclude Baggage Files From RH8 Search

Hi...
I have noticed that you can exclude pages from appearing in
the RH8 search (Topic Properties > Exclude From Search), but are
you also able to do this with baggage files? (now that RH8 indexes
those too).
I have a large number of PDF baggage files, but dont want
these to appear in the search.
Thanks...

Hi Mat
Unfortunately Baggage files are immune from Conditional Build
tagging. I would strongly encourage you and others to pester Adobe
with Wish Forms asking for ability to apply CBTs to baggage
content.
Click
here to visit the Wish Form
Until this feature emerges as part of the RoboHelp feature
set, the best you can probably do is to place the files inside a
folder in baggage where you can occasionally sneak behind
RoboHelp's back and rename the folder temporarily so RoboHelp
doesn't know about it. This would effectively exclude the files.
Once finished with the special build, rename the folder back
to what it was.
Cheers... Rick

How to exclude mts files from importing

Hi,
I use my photo camera for photo's and video, but as PSE is crashing/freezes when it encounters a mts file I would like to exclude these from importing but the default "media type" settings does not allow this.
How can I force PSE to exclude these files, so I can import all photos into the organizer
André
PSE 12 W8.1 i7 HD4000+GT650M

Is this a laptop that 'automatically' chooses between an onboard graphics chip (the HD4000) and an advanced graphics processor (GT650M). If it is then it is possible that the switching is causing the issue. There should be a utility that allows you to define a particular card for for a particular application to use - this should then start the application using that card and avoid any 'auto-sensing' activity.
Note though that Elements (Photoshop, Premiere, Organizer) make no use of advanced video card capabilities so if the HD4000 provides you an acceptable resolution and colour depth there is no advantage to using the GT650M.
Cheers,
Neale

can i exclude this datafile from recovery , or deleted completely
i tried alter database datafile 81 offline;
but still the db feels it needs to rcover it
Thanks

Hi,
Its not like to try one by one command, do you check what the errors he have post?
SQL> Alter database open resetlogs;
Alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'F:\ORADATA\DB\TCOR_SYSTEM_01.DBF'
SQL> user,
can you check these two views?
select file#, status, checkpoint_change# from v$datafile;
select file#, status, fuzzy, checkpoint_change# from v$datafile_header;Then we can find which one is new one which one is old?
Thanks.

Exclude large files from mobile home sync

Hi, is there a way to exclude files from mobile home sync based on their file size? For example, I work with many VMs on my MacBook Pro, juggling around between different installation ISOs for various Linux distros and version of Windows. For the mostpart, these large ISOs (some pushing 4GB in size) are only used on my MacBook and not on my Mac Mini running OS X Lion Server.
I have mobile home sync set up, and it's been working great, until I happen to download a large file. If I'm not paying attention, my home directory will begin to sync with the server, pushing these large files over the wireless network, soaking up all of the bandwidth.
I understand I can create specific directories to exclude from syncing via Workgroup Manager, and also use various rules with regex in regard to the naming of the files and directories that should also be excluded from sync. But I'm often juggling around files of various formats between various directories in my development environment, and it would be troublesome to write rules that would encapsulate all of the scenarios. The most simple solution would be to base it on file size, and I can't seem to find much on this in Workgroup Manager.
Anyone know of a way to exclude files from mobile home sync based on their file size?

Exclude Hidden File from Time Machine Backup?

Hi all,
Used the Time Machine error message widget, and got the following info:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/HD Backup/Backups.backupdb
Backup content size: 880.8 GB excluded items size: 247.4 GB for volume Macintosh HD

I searched for the trouble file so I could exclude it from the backup, but couldn't find it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Alvyn,
On all my machines the Time Machine destination disk is normally excluded. I can't remember if I did this or it's added by default. You can excluded anything you want in the Privacy tab of Spotlight's system preferences.

Robocopy Exclude specific file pattern in a specific folder

We are trying to build a script to mirror the user documents to a personal networkfolder, but it happens that a scanner sends files in the format "doc*.pdf" to that folder. Is it possible to exclude just these files in that folder? Because if the
user copies them in his document folder they should be mirrored, but if he didn't allrdy copied we dont want then to be deleted.
What we tried so far was:
robocopy "C:\Users\username\Documents" "\\server\users\username" /MIR /XF \\server\users\username\doc*.pdf
But it did not work, robocopy does not seem to accept the argument. Anyway he accepts
robocopy "C:\Users\username\Documents" "\\server\users\username" /MIR /XF \\server\users\username\doc.pdf
But this does not help us, as we need a pattern to be ignored not just a specific filename.

as far as I know, wildcards are supported only if the filename is a filename, not a path.
robocopy <sourcedir> <destdir> /MIR /XF doc*.pdf

Can i exclude apdb files from Backblaze backup?

Beside TimeMachine i also use Backblaze as a cloud backup solution, it works perfectly so far.
I have noticed that Backblaze correctly backups all Aperture data, even small changes in the APDB Databased are recognized and Backblaze immediately backups for example the Properties.apdb file. Well, my Properties.apdb is more the 600 Mb in size and i am wondering if it would be possible to exclude it from the backup. Do You have any idea if i will be able to restore all Aperture data and the Properties.apdb will then be reconstructed automatically?
kind regards
Michael

I believe it is required, but as a test duplicate one of your libraries, delete the files you want to exclude from the backup and see if Aperture can recreate it.
You'll most likely have to tun a library rebuild on the library for that to work (if it does)

Is it possible to exclude .PDF file from Email Message body ?

Hello Friends,

Even I want in real message body.

NB - the "data" that is returned by these classes is the data as defined in an adobe form - it doesn't return the content of non-form PDF documents.
The PDF must be an interactive form ( although that doesn't restrict you to using the SAP process for creating the form is my understanding - but I could be wrong. )
Edit - I was wrong! ONLY PDF documents that have been created by the ADS can have data extracted using these classes. So unless you are using Adobe interactive forms - then you will get no value from this functionality - and if you're using AIF then you're probably just use the standard UI element

Robocopy Exclude file types

We are building a script to copy data from a laptop to our servers using robocopy, but we dont want to backup movie files and pictures. is there a way to have robocopy exclude specific file types?

Hi,
/xf <FileName>[ ...]
Excludes files that match the specified names or paths. Note that FileName can include wildcard characters (* and ?).
e.g. robocopy <Source> <Destination> /xf *.jpg

Creating a script to exclude files from Time Machine Backup

Hi guys,
I was looking for some input as I have rolled out Sophos Safeguard to a number of MacBook's in our company and with this you need to exclude sevral files from the Time Machine backup.
Rather than manually doing each user is there a scripting tool I could use to exclude these files? Have taken a look at apple script but don't think this supports the time machine application. Could the terminal be used? If so does anyone have any guidelines I could follow to create this?
Thanks for your time.

The exclusions are contained in the file
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
I suggest you deploy that file rather than trying to edit it, which could be quite complex.

Permanently exclude certain files & folders from backup

I see in the discussions where you can delete certain files or folders from TM backups. Does this exclude those files from future backups as well? Or do you have to go back into TM every time and delete them?
Thanks.

Barb2008 wrote:

No. But you can add files/folders to the TM exclusion list in system preferences->TM->options. that will stop future backups of those files/folders.
