Date filter
Use the Date filter to include or exclude files based on a specific date and time or a date range.
Follow the procedure below to filter files based on their date:
Click the Date filter button.
The Date Filter dialog box appears:

- Decide whether to include or exclude the files.
If you select Include, only files that match the Date filter you specify will be backed up or restored.
If you select Exclude, all files will be backed up or restored EXCEPT for those that match the Date filter you specify.
- Select a ``Based On'' method.
- Modify Date - will include or exclude files last modified on this date.
- Creation Date - will include or exclude files created on this date.
- Last Access Date - will include or exclude files last accessed on this date.
- Specify the comparison method and the date(s) to be used for comparison.
You have four options from which to choose:
- On or Before - Files whose date matches, or whose date is earlier than this date, will be included or excluded.
- On or After - Files whose date matches, or whose date is later than this date, will be included or excluded.
- Between - You must specify two dates for this selection. Files whose date falls between the two dates will be included or excluded from the job.
- Within - Selecting this option requires you to enter a number of days, months, or years to be used for the comparison. Enter a number between 1 and 250, inclusive. SCO ARCserve/Open will use the current date as the basis from which to count back.

The above window illustrates the following example:
You want to back up your host. However, in order to save time, you only want to include files that have been modified within the last two months.
