Description

The New-FsrmFileGroup cmdlet creates a file group object on the server. A file group is a logical collection of file name patterns that the server uses to define file screens and file screen exceptions. You can also use file group definitions for generating storage report jobs based on file type.

The file group consists of two collections of wildcard patterns for file names. One collection indicates file names that the server includes for file screens, and the other collection indicates file names that the server does not include for file screens.

Examples

Example 1: Create a file group

PS C:\> New-FsrmFileGroup -Name "Non-HTML text files" -IncludePattern @("*.txt", "*ml") -ExcludePattern "*.html"

This command creates a file group named "Non-HTML text files". The command indicates that files that end in txt or ml are included in the file group, and that files that end in .html are not included in the file group.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
