[Bacula-users] FileSet Question

[Bryan H. <bry...@me...>]

Hello all,

While running a job, if I look at the status of the client, bacula appears to be selecting files I don't want.  If, say, I only want to backup "*.txt" files, the status makes it seem as though the server is backing up _all_ files.  I'm using bacula 5.2.5 for both the client and server.  I had used the bregex program and from my results my expressions looked okay (or so I thought).

The command I'm running for the status is:

echo status client=MyClient | bconsole -n | grep 'Processing File:'

Here is what my FileSet looks like.  I'm trying to go off the example in the Bacula book (~page 178 in my version of main.pdf), where they say to express the files you want (above) and then use ".*" to exclude everything else (below) that you _don't_ want.  Maybe I'm using the example incorrectly?  I know they used wilddir  in the book where as I use RegexFile and RegexDir, I was hoping regex in its place would work out okay.

Does anyone see what I might be doing wrong?  Should I be using RegexDir = ".*" instead of RegexFile = ".*"?

FileSet {
  Name = bryanslack
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = SHA1
      compression = LZO
      aclsupport = yes
      xattrsupport = yes
      accurate = mcs
      basejob = mcs
    }
    Options {
      Ignore Case = yes
      RegexFile = ".*\.((wi|ba|tc|c|z|k)?sh)|pl|tcl|exp(ect)?|patch|diff$"
      RegexFile = ".*\.(a|ada|adb|ali|c|cpp|dat|h|prep|z)$"
      RegexFile = ".*\.(rtf|txt|pdf|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|xml|js(o)?n)$"
      RegexFile = ".*\.(jpg|gif|tiff|png|bmp)$"
      RegexFile = ".*(rpm[-]std(err|out)|build|error(s)?)\.log$"
    }
    Options {
      Ignore Case = yes
      Exclude = yes
      RegexDir = "^/build_views/(bryan|foo|bar).*"
      RegexFile = ".*"
    }
    File = /boot
    File = /etc
    File = /root
    File = /build_views
  }
}
