Everyone,
Thanks very much for the input. I really appreciate everyone's timely
response. Angus, this worked great! It's all I needed.
THANKS,
Pete
Hi Pete,
I'm a bacula newbie. I am running bacula-1.38.0 and looked through the
manual and did some googling without an answer. I tried doing a backup
of a linux server of the root directory "/". At the end of the
bacup the
messages in bconsole reported:
*messages

serv2-fd: Filesystem change prohibited. Will not descend into
/var
So /home and /var/didn't get backed up because they are their own
filesystems. Is there a configuration option where everything
under "/"
would be backed up regardless of not being in the "/" filesystem? Here
is what I think is the relevent configuration that I have in
Try this directive in your FileSet directive (this is from the manual,
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html):
*onefs=yes|no*
If set to *yes* (the default), *Bacula* will remain on a single
file system. That is it will not backup file systems that are
mounted on a subdirectory. If you wish to backup multiple
filesystems, you can explicitly list each file system you want
saved. Otherwise, if you set the onefs option to *no*, Bacula will
backup all mounted file systems (i.e. traverse mount points) that
are found within the *FileSet*. Thus if you have NFS or Samba file
systems mounted on a directory listed in your FileSet, they will
also be backed up. Normally, it is preferable to set *onefs=yes*
and to explicitly name each filesystem you want backed up.
Explicitly naming the filesystems you want backed up avoids the
possibility of getting into a infinite loop recursing filesystems.
See the example below for more details.
Ciao
