In regard to: [Networker] Directives question, Quayle, Kurtis said (at...:

I need to backup only a certain file type *.pst and skip all other
files. Has any one wrote a directive to do something like this.

I've never tried to do something like that and I haven't looked at the
nsr_directive(5) man page recently, but my first instinct is to try
something like this:

<< /path/to/some/directory >>
        +skip: * .?*
        +atimeasm: *.pst

In other words, first tell save to skip everything in that directory and
below, and then tell it to back up your pst files using a (non-skip) ASM.
There's no reason you have to use atimeasm, something like +always or
+holey would also be things you could try -- the important idea is that
you're first skipping everything and then rescinding that for just the pst
files.

Let the list know if it works.  ;-)  If it doesn't, there might be a way
to do some creative glob()ing to do the skip, but I would try this first.
