Re: [Bacula-users] Getting more than wanted in backup

[Clark, P. A. <cl...@or...>]

Thank you for the suggestions.  Using wilddir on the includes works much
better than the RegexDir.  I did find that using wild = "*" on the
excludes was problematic.  I'd backup the directories, but none of the
files.  I've switched to using wilddir for the excludes, too, which adds a
level of self-documentation to the fileset. A working example shows the
changes and I just adjust the wilddir statements for the fileset as needed.

FileSet {
   Name = "home_dirs1 Set"
# Capture /home/[0-9]*
   Include {
     Options {
      signature = MD5
      wilddir = "/home/[0-9]*"
     }
     Options {
      wilddir = "/home/[a-z]*"
      wilddir = "/home/[A-Z]*"

      Exclude = yes     }
     File = /home
   }
}
