Dear Backup Exec 2010 users and supporters,
I encounter huge problems searching the catalogs with wildcards. I read the Admin and BEMCMD manual, which doesn't refer to wildcard supported AT ALL. I tested this with BE2010 R3 SP0 to SP2, respective BEMCMD 13.0.5204
I read the forum, but still there is much confusion. Technical support hotline is a bad joke about this topic.
E.g. here, a Symantec advisor wrote, that wildcards aren't supported what is also wrong, which I will show below.
In the GUI, you will get strange results when searching for *.* (the .raw file is not found by this as shown in the image below), but (probably) good results when searching for ?*.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
With the command line applet "BEMCMD" option -o38 (search the catalogs) it is even worse.
-fn:*.raw won't work
-fn:?*.raw will work!
-fn:????????????.raw will work! (but You will have to know the exact length of the file names)
-fn:?*.* won't work
-fn:?*.??? won't work
-fn:?*.r?? will work! Crazy!
...so for *.* you will have to iterate through ?*.a??, ?*.b??, ?*.c?? ... at the moment :-)
Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a fix?
