models.filtering_policy_proto module

class models.filtering_policy_proto.FilteringPolicyProto(allow_filters=None, deny_filters=None)

Bases: object

Implementation of the ‘FilteringPolicyProto’ model.

Proto to encapsulate the filtering policy for backup objects like files or directories. If an object is not matched by any of the ‘allow_filters’, it will be excluded in the backup. If an object is matched by one of the ‘deny_filters’, it will always be excluded in the backup. Basically ‘deny_filters’ overwrite ‘allow_filters’ if they both match the same object. Currently we only support two kinds of filter: prefix which always starts with ‘/’, or postfix which always starts with ‘*’ (cannot be “*” only). We don’t support regular expression right now. A concrete example is: Allow filters: “/” Deny filters: “/tmp”, “*.mp4” Using such a policy will include everything under the root directory except the /tmp directory and all the mp4 files.

Attributes:

allow_filters (list of string): List of filters to allow matched

objects for backup.

deny_filters (list of string): List of filters to deny matched objects

for backup.
