Hello,

I have a second partition mounted as /var. Despite Bacula should backup all (/)
it does not include /var.

Both root partition and var partition are ext3.

The relevant file set is:

FileSet {
  Name = "Full Set"
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
      compression=GZIP
    }
    File = /
  }
  Exclude {
    File = /proc
    File = /tmp
    File = /.journal
    File = /.fsck
    File = /mnt
    File = /media
    File = /cdrom
    File = /var/music
  }
}

Why is /var not included?

Regards,
Mick

Bacula doesn't span filesystems by default. You can either specify 'onefs=yes' as a fileset option or add 'File = /var' to the list of included directories. It's explained in the manual. Imagine you had a 600GB NFS filesystem mounted at /home on all of your servers (which I do). By specifying 'File = /' in the fileset for each server, bacula would backup the same data on every server when it only needs to be backed up on the NFS server itself.
