- filespec
- Specifies the path and file name that you want to query. Use
wildcard characters to specify a group of files or all the files in a
directory.
- Note:
- If you include filespacename, do not include a drive letter in the
file specification. Note that drive label names are only used for
removable media.
- {filespacename}
- Specifies the file space (enclosed in braces) on the server that contains
the file you want to query. This is the name on the workstation drive
from which the file was archived. The following example is valid for
specifying a UNC name: {'\\machine\C$'}.
Use the filespacename if the name has changed or if you are
querying files archived from another node with drive labels that are different
from yours.
- Note:
- You must specify a mixed or lowercase NTFS filespacename enclosed
in quotes and braces. For example, {"NTFSDrive"}.
Single quotes or double quotes are valid in loop mode. For
example: {"NTFSDrive"} and {'NTFSDrive'}
are both valid. In batch mode, only single quotes are valid. The
single quotes requirement is a restriction of the operating system.
