ATIH - backup/restore files from a list of files
Maybe a developer should see this.
Is there a way of backing up files from a list of files? Or put another way, would creating a folder consisting of links work? (Is there an option to backup files by traversing only soft links to these files in a folder?) Semantically this is saying the same thing, although it would be useful for such a functionality to exist natively within ATIH.
With hundreds of files in disparate locations on 20TB of disks, it would be impossibly tedious to select them all and then save this as a backup job.
My case is that I can create a list of these files, all of whom have a common text in the name field.
I could copy all of the files to common location or structure from which they could be selected, but it is not practical, nor desirable, to do so, nor to reorganize the location of these files to enable a simpler selection process. Retaining the configuration management of location is cruial.
Just as an FYI, the total size of this collection is 21GB.
