Exclude Certain File Types from Tiger Bridge Replication

Tiger Bridge allows for specific file types to be excluded from policy-based replication.

It is possible to exclude .vib, .vlm or any other types of files from replication (and capacity management).

Important: This only applies to policy-based replication, not to manual operations!

This is not available in the UI, but can be configured through registry settings.

1. Open RegEdit

2. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tiger Technology\tiger-bridge\tiersvc\settings

3. Create the following String variable and set the value with the following syntax:

replication_filter             !:vib:vlm:

Note: The sample is for the .vib and .vlm file types, but the same procedure can be applied to any other type of a file extension.

4. Once this registry variable has been created, you will need to restart the service using a Command Prompt in an elevated mode (as an Administrator):

c:\net stop tiersvc

c:\net start tiersvc
