[Bacula-users] Wild-carding rules

[Davin C. <dav...@gm...>]

Ok, I'm probably doing something stupid that's obvious to everyone 
else.  Perhaps someone can point it out to me?

I'm running Bacula v3.0.3a on WinXP and most things seem to be 
working fine.  I'm trying to specify some file extensions that are 
not to be zipped (e.g. ".gzip", ".jpg", etc.), but it seems to be 
zipping them anyway.  So I built a simple test case and I can't 
figure out how to get it to respect the exceptions.

My FileSet has three Options (which I use for all my jobs), followed 
by a file list (a large single text file in this sample case).  The 
first Options specifies particular files & directories to exclude - 
this seems to be working fine.  The second Options specifies file 
types not to compress (it contains no compression directive).  The 
third Options just lists the default options (including compression) 
to be used for all other files.

Here's the contents of my second Options resource, stripped back to 
just my test case.  It shows all the ways I've tried specifying the 
files to be selected by this option and thus not compressed.

Options {
     Check File Changes = Yes
     Hard Links = No
     Ignore Case = Yes
     Enhanced Wild = Yes
     MTime Only = Yes
     No ATime = Yes
     Signature = MD5
     Wild File = "c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application 
Data/Bacula/Work/*.noziptest"
     Wild      = "c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application 
Data/Bacula/Work/*.noziptest"
     Wild File = "c:/*/*/*/*/*/*.noziptest"
     Wild      = "c:/*/*/*/*/*/*.noziptest"
     Wild File = "c:/*/*.noziptest"
     Wild      = "c:/*/*.noziptest"
     Wild File = "c:/*.noziptest"
     Wild      = "c:/*.noziptest"
     Wild File = "*.noziptest"
     Wild      = "*.noziptest"
}

Even with this whole list of alternatives, none of them seem to be matching:
     File = "c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application 
Data/Bacula/Work/bacula.noziptest"
and it's getting backed up according to my default options which 
includes compression.

So, what might I be doing wrong here?
