My company is migrating to Networker 7.3 from another backup software vendor, 
and so I am working to learn the ins and outs of Networker.  One of the tasks I 
have is to archive and purge old log files from a file server on a monthly 
basis.  I have done this in the past by applying a filter to the backup client, 
specifying that it ignore all files less than one week old.  A batch file run 
after verification of the backup then deletes files on which the archive 
attirbute has been cleared, thus purging the backed-up files.

How can I accomplish this task in Networker, other than manually selecting the 
tens-of-thousands of files in nearly a hundred different directories that I 
want backed up?  Is there a way to write a directive that will back up/ignore 
files based on their creation/modification/accessed dates?

Thanks
