2 - INSTALLING AND USING THE
HP EFS RCU
Additional HP EFS RCU Features
The following section describes additional features of the HP EFS RCU. It contains the
following sections:
 “Specifying Time Limits,” next
 “Specifying Wild Cards” on page 19
 “Excluding Files and Directories” on page 19
Specifying Time
Limits
The HP EFS RCU client can be given a time limit for mirroring, copying, or
transparently prepopulating data. A time limit can be useful when you want to limit
data transfer usage to a certain time frame (for example, 2 hours after midnight) to
control bandwidth.
The following example illustrates the transparent prepopulation of the c:\data
directory until the entire directory has been transferred, or 1 hour (that is, 3600
seconds) has passed, whichever comes first. For example:
rcu /prepop c:\data WANAccelerator1 /timelimit 3600
Specifying Wild
Cards
Source locations can have a wild card (*) in the last part of the path (for example,
c:\dir\newfiles*). The wild card can be used with any of the client locations to limit
the data sources. The following example mirrors any directory or file starting with
newfile in the c:\data directory. The files appear as build1\newfile1, build1\newfile2,
and so forth on the server. For example:
rcu /mirror c:\data\newfile* server1 build1
Excluding Files
and Directories
Files or directories can also be individually excluded using the /excludepath option.
The following example copies the c:\data subtree to the newdata directory on the
server (with the exception of anything in or below the c:\data\private directory):
rcu /copy c:\data server1 newdata /excludepath c:\data\private
The following example excludes all files and directories in or below the
c:\data\private directory:
rcu /copy c:\data server1 newdata /excludepath private
