Extended file search in Backup

To find files in Backup using the extended filter:

1. Select and open in the Management Console tree the node corresponding to the necessary SharePoint server. Then select the Backup node.

   The results window will display the list of files stored in Backup.

2. Click the icon to maximize the extended filter section.

   The extended filter section will be displayed. The section contains the list of filter conditions. By default, the list contains three lines where you can specify the conditions that will be used to filter document copies. Each filter condition consists of three parts: the file property to check, the pattern string and the comparison rule applied while matching the property and the pattern string.

3. To define a filtration condition:
   1. Select the property to check from the drop-down list in the left part of the line.

      You can pick any of the following values as the property to check:

      • File name
      • Path to file
      • User name
      • Account
      • Incident ID
      • File originator
      • File originator email
      • Last edit by
      • Last editor email
      • Scan type.
   2. Select the comparison rule from the drop-down list in the middle of the line. 

      The set of values in the list will correspond to the selected value of the property to check. For example, when checking the File name property, the list contains the following values: Contains, Does not contain, Empty field.

      If you have selected Empty field, the entry field in the right part of the line will become inactive.

   3. Enter the template string in the entry field in the right part of the line. The pattern string supports masks.

      Specified filter condition will be applied to the list of files in Backup immediately as soon as you specify all its three parts. The files list only displays files matching all specified filtering conditions.

4. If you need to define more than three filter conditions, you can append additional lines to the list of conditions. To do this, click the Add a condition button.

   A new line will appear in the lower part of the filter conditions section.

5. If you want to delete an additional filter condition, click the  icon in the filtering condition line.

   The selected line will be deleted from the list of filter conditions. The list of files will be refreshed to match the remaining filter conditions.

For convenience, you can minimize the extended filter section by clicking the icon. Minimized extended filter will continue to function. If you want to cancel extended filtering, click the Reset filter link.
