This page can be used to name, define, add, and modify Data Migration Rules using rule syntax. Rules can be built with a series of INCLUDE and EXCLUDE statements. Each of these statements can contain a number of expressions specifying the type of files and the conditions under which they will be migrated.

For example:

INCLUDE (<FILENAME *.mp3> AND <FILE_SIZE_OVER 2GB>)
