Pattern lists in consistency groups

(Linux only)

You can now add pattern lists to consistency group definitions in addition to paths. Pattern lists are optional and can be used with both include and exclude lists. All the files and directories matching the specified pattern are replicated.

If an include or exclude path and an include or exclude pattern conflict, the include or exclude path will take precedence. For example, if the exclude pattern is /mnt1/dir1/dir2 and the include pattern is /mnt1/dir1/dir2/dir3/*.txt, none of the files in dir3 are replicated.

Patterns are formed using the following symbols:

*

Match zero or more characters, except /

?

Match exactly one character, except /

[]

Match any one of the characters specified within the brackets. Character ranges can be specified within the brackets using a hyphen character.

**

Match all files and zero or more directories or subdirectories
