'Wildcard Mask' in Litespeed FastCompression task

Hello

 

I am trying to understand how the option 'Wildcard Mask' (when selecting a list of databases) in Fast Compression task works. If we specify a certain db name in that setting, does that remove the specified db name from the list of databases that have to be backed up?

 

Thanks

Satya

  • To be more specific, I am referring to the option 'Wildcard Mask' in tab 'General' --> 'Databases' --> 'Wildcard Mask' under 'Exclude databases'. If we select 'All Databases', will that cause the 'Wildcard Mask' under 'Exlcude databases' to not work?
  • Hello,

    No. As an example if you select the option "all databases" and use the exclude wildcard mask "litespeed*" then all databases will be backed up expect any that have names starting with "litespeed" or the other default exclude options if they are still selected.

    Note the below from a fast compression log...

     

    (These databases will not be backed up)

    Entry "TDatabaseEnumerator.CheckExcludeMask"

    2017.09.22 05:55.24.842 [DEBUG]:     [LiteSpeedLocal] Excluded from Mask "Litespeed*".

    2017.09.22 05:55.24.843 [DEBUG]:     [LiteSpeedCentral] Excluded from Mask "Litespeed*".

     

     

    (this is the list of databases that will be backed up. Note it does not include the two databases above)
