Migrate folders and ignore extensions exclusions

[kornboy82]

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to migrate a folder when ignoring the extension filters ?

 

Here are the explanations :

 

In my MigData.xml file, there are some file extensions excluded (we don't want to overload our backup source).

 

<component type="Documents" context="UserAndSystem">
<displayName>ExclusiondeCertainTypedeFichiers</displayName>
<role role="Data">
<rules>
<unconditionalExclude>
 <objectSet>
 <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.gho]", "Fixed")</script>
 <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.exe]", "Fixed")</script>
 <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.msi]", "Fixed")</script>
 <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.iso]", "Fixed")</script>
 <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.inf]", "Fixed")</script>
 <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_PERSONAL%\Ma musique\ [*chantillons de musique.lnk]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_PERSONAL%\Mes images\ [*chantillons d'images.lnk]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS%\Ma musique\*llons de musique [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS%\Mes images\*llons d'images [*]</pattern>
					 <pattern type="File">%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Temp\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%PROFILESFOLDER%\206instsac\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%PROFILESFOLDER%\206instsac.csdps\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%PROFILESFOLDER%\prep\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%PROFILESFOLDER%\admincsdps\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%PROFILESFOLDER%\cisccm\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%SYSTEMDRIVE%\CSDPS\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Cakewalk* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%SYSTEMDRIVE%\HotFix\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">D:\Recit* [*]</pattern>
 <pattern type="File">D:\SMART Technologies* [*]</pattern>		
 </objectSet>
</unconditionalExclude>
</rules>
</role>
</component>

 

Those extensions and folders are all excluded. In this file, we have also included a folder to backup. I want it to be backuped inconditionally from these ignored extensions.

 

<!-- Ce composant est pour migrer Accusound-->
<component type="Documents" context="System">
<displayName>Composant pour migrer Accusound</displayName>
<role role="Data">
<rules>
	 <include>
	 <objectSet>
	 <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("c:\Maxivox\* [*] ", "Fixed")</script>					
 </objectSet>
	 </include>
</rules>
</role>
</component>

 

Is it possible ??? Thank you !

You should be able to work something like that out, but NOT with an unconditionalExclude. Take a look here for some more information about conflicts and precedence in those XML files.
