A management class defines when your files are included in a backup, how long they are kept on the server, and how many versions of the file the server should keep. The server administrator selects a default management class. You can specify your own management class to override the default management class.
You can assign a management class for a file or file group by using an include statement in your Preferences file. Management class names are not case-sensitive. For example, to associate all the files in the costs folder with a management class named budget, you would enter:
include"...:Costs:*" budget
To specify a management class named managall to use for all files to which you do not explicitly assign a management class, you would enter:
include * managall
The example below demonstrates how to use a management class:
exclude "...:...:*sno" include "la pomme:winter:...:*Ice" mcweekly include "la pomme:winter:december:*Ice" mcdaily include "la pomme:winter:january:*Ice" mcmonthly include "la pomme:winter:winter:white sno"
Processing follows these steps:
To specify your own default management class for files that are not explicitly included, specify:
include "...:*" mgmt_class_name
as the first include or exclude option defined.
