Virtual TapeServer 6.04.01 Operations and Administration Guide

Using Instant DR | 109
Alternately, you can use the wildcard shortcut by creating a one-line jobset with the
value ABC* for the virtual tape name, assuming ABC* does not identify more virtual
tapes than the ones you are working with. The asterisk is the only wildcard character
accepted and can be used only in the cartridge field. It can appear anywhere in the
name (before, after, or in the middle). It can also appear by itself to designate all
virtual tapes in the pool. If the All Files checkbox is not selected, VTS finds the virtual
tape identified with a wildcard that has most recently been modified. In this case, it
makes sense to specifically identify the target virtual tape name instead of using ==.
If the All Files checkbox is selected, the opposite is true. It is unlikely that you would
want multiple asterisk-identified source files backed up to the same destination
virtual tape name. In this case, use == in the target field.
Also, click DEL for any blank rows in the Job Set section of the page.
