Did you modify the Job to use your new FileSet? You need to arrange it like: Job { Name = "My Job" FileSet = "My New FileSet" ... (other settings) } FileSet { Name = "My New FileSet" } Where "My New FileSet" is the name attribute in the FileSet itself. Then reload the configuration file by using the bconsole command 'reload'. > So to do some experiments without wholesale reading of manual which > is what the `Getting started' section claims to be about, how does > one change what gets backed up so that when saying `run' in console > it is your own choice that comes up? > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
