Mozy Mac and Spotlight

Mac newbie here ... I am using Mozy Mac to backup data. Most file extensions that I need to backup are indexed by Spotlight and I can thus specify them in the Mozy backup config. Exception: PPTX, DOCX, and XLSX (yes, I also have some MSO 2007 files...).

Curious fact: since I have NeoOffice and the NO Spotlight plugin installed, Spotlight indexes PPTX etc ok.

I simply do not know how to specify the search string in the Mozy Mac configuration, or how to lookup which kMDItemContentType is the one for PPTX DOCX XLSX.

For example: to backup MSO2003 files, Mozy needs an entry that says

kMDItemContentType == "com.microsoft.powerpoint.ppt"

This one ensures my PPT 2003 files are backed up.

Is there a way to lookup Spotlight config or the kMDItemContentType specified for PPTX DOCX XLSX?

Thanks!
 
Came across a blog a few minutes after I posted my question....

Looks like MSO 2007 files can be specified in Mozy Mac with the following search string:

kMDItemContentType == "org.openxmlformats.*"

Found that content types can be read out with mdls in terminal.
 
I can't specifically address your problem. All I would say as an ex-Mozy user you really need to read the fine print vary carefully.
