Anyone with these permissions: Manage backup configuration
This article explains how to configure object filters to control which objects are backed up.
Configure object filters
Configure object filters to control which objects are backed up based on the object prefix and modification date.
You can apply filters to a single bucket by providing the name, or to all buckets per cloud provider by entering * in place of the bucket name.
Eon supports up to one filter per cloud provider per unique bucket name, and up to one all-buckets filter (using *) per cloud provider.
To configure object filters, go to the Object filters page and click Add Filter. The Create filter panel opens.
Choose the cloud provider
If you have both AWS and GCS source accounts connected, you’ll see S3 and Google Cloud Storage tabs. Choose the tab for the bucket type you want to target with the filter.
Choose the bucket targeted by the filter
In Bucket name, enter a specific bucket name for an exact match, or enter * to apply the filter to all buckets.
Set the filter type
Select whether to include or exclude objects:
-
Include: Include only objects that meet the conditions specified in the filter. All other objects are excluded from backup.
-
Exclude: Exclude objects that meet the conditions specified in the filter. All other objects are included in backup.
The fields in the next step change based on your selection.
Configure filter conditions
The available fields depend on whether you selected Include or Exclude:
-
If you selected Include:
- Include objects with prefix: Specify an object prefix to filter which objects are included in backup.
- Include objects modified after: Use the date picker to select a date. Only objects modified after this date are included in backup.
-
If you selected Exclude:
- Exclude objects with prefix: Specify an object prefix to filter which objects are excluded from backup.
- Exclude objects modified before: Use the date picker to select a date. Only objects modified before this date are excluded from backup.
If two filters conflict with each other, the more specific prefix takes precedence.
The filter is saved and will be applied to all future backup jobs.
