I'm using Bacula 1.36.3.
In trying to exclude some directories from backup, I tried various
incantations of the "wild=" and "regex=" as described in the
"Configuring the Director" section of the manual. I could get none to
work.
Then finally while reading through the examples, I found where is says
that the regex functions have been reported not to work on FreeBSD. Is
there any workaround short of specifying each directory individually?
I'm trying to exclude the "Trash" folder in each users home directory.
The complete path is "/usr/home/<user>/Maildir/.Trash/". Any suggestions?
Try using "WildDir = *.Trash" and exclusion. You might need to add a / to
the end of that expression.
Thanks for your reply. However, neither "*.Trash" nor "*.Trash/" works
for me. Just to be sure it's not a syntax issue, here is the specific
section of my bacula-dir.conf file:
FileSet {
Name = "FBSD Root_Usr"
Include {
File = /
File = /usr
Options {
compression=GZIP
signature=MD5
}
}
# Second "Include" is to really "Exclude" some wildcard options. See
manual
Include {
Options {
# Manual states regex has "been reported to not work on FBSD".
Leaving
# as placeholder. Idea is to exclude /~/Maildir/.Trash
wilddir="*.Trash/"
exclude=yes
}
}
Exclude {
File = "/dev"
File = "/proc"
File = "/.journal"
File = "/.fsck"
File = "/usr/src"
File = "/usr/ports"
File = "/usr/doc"
File = "/usr/obj"
File = "/usr/var/db/mysql
File = "/usr/var/tmp"
}
}
For the record, I have SIGHUPed the bacula-dir process after making each
change. I am using the "estimate job= listing" function from bconsole
to test what files will get backed up.
Thanks for your help!
