Hi Mikel,
Does Bacula offer some of the same metadata selectability under MAC OSX as Retrospect?
I don't have any experience with generating client-side file lists, but theoretically you could write a script that builds a list of files/folders with certain metadata by using the OS X command "mdls".
For instance, here's a folder with the orange label: ian% mdls -name kMDItemFSLabel Downloads Downloads ------------- kMDItemFSLabel = 7
Meaning, one, ok it's probably the only one, of Retros features is to select or exclude items from a job by the color attributed to the item. Believe it or not this is a critical issue for one of my clients who are mostly artists and need this visual bell.
I believe it... I'm looking into using Bacula to replace Retrospect for client backups in our network as well, where there was a policy at oe time where folders with a red label weren't backed up. Though I can define a new policy (these are technical users, not artists) ;-)
I'm interested in what you come up with, regardless.
