Example of conditions and tag conditions

Here is an example to illustrate the use of conditions and tag conditions.

Consider the container/bucket has the following files/directories:

  • Following blobs tagged with "Project": "HR" tag

    • OrganizationData/Hr/resumes/resume1_selected.pdf

    • OrganizationData/Hr/resumes/resume2_rejected.pdf

    • OrganizationData/Hr/resumes/resume3_noupdate.pdf

  • Following blobs tagged with "Project": "Finance" tag value

    • OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/account1/records1.txt

    • OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/account2/records2.txt

    • OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/account3/records3.txt

    • OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/monthly_expenses/Jul2022.rec

    • OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/monthly_expenses/Aug2022.rec

  • Following blobs tagged with "Project": "Security"

    • The blob Getepass.pdf: Has one more tag with "TypeOfData":"ID_Cards" so this is tagged with two tags (that is: Security and ID_Cards)

    • OrganizationData/newJoinees/tempPassesList.xls

  • Following blobs tagged with "Project": "Environment"

    • EnvironmentContribution.xls

    • NewPlantedTrees.xls

Example prefix conditions:

  • Case 1: To backup all resumes irrespective of their status (like, selected or rejected) from OrganizationData add the query:

    prefix Equal to OrganizationData/Hr/resumes/resume

    Result: All records that start with OrganizationData/Hr/resumes/resume are backed up.

  • Case 2: To backup all resumes and records from Fin and HR, add any of the following queries:

    prefix Equal to OrganizationData/Hr/resumes/resume

    Or

    prefix Equal to OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/account1/rec

    Note:

    You can add multiple prefixes with OR conditions.

Result: All records starting with OrganizationData/Hr/resumes/resume or OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/account1/rec are backed up.

Example object conditions:

To backup a specific object/blob add the following query:

object Equal to OrganizationData/Fin/accounts/monthly_expenses/Jul2022.rec

Result: Only the blob with the name Jul2022.rec is selected.

Example tag conditions:

  • Case 1: To backup all blobs tagged with "Project": "Finance", add the following query:

    tagKey Equal to 'Project' and tagVal Equal to 'Finance'

    Result: All object/blobs tagged with "Project" = "Finance" are selected.

  • Case 2: To backup data that match with project Finance or Security, add the query:

    tagKey Equal to 'Project' and tagValue eq 'Finance' OR tagKey Equal to 'Project' and tagValue eq 'Security'

    Result: All object/blobs tagged with "Project": "Finance" or "Project":"Security" are selected.

  • Case 3: To backup data from "Project":"Security" and "TypeOfData":"ID_Cards" add the queries:

    (tagKey Equal to 'Project' and tagValue Equal to 'Security') AND (tagKey Equal to 'TypeOfData' and tagValue Equal to 'ID_Cards')

    Result: Data with tag "Project":" Security" and "TypeOfData": "ID_Cards" are selected.
