Hmm. Come to think of it, I don't know whether the
File="\|/remote/script"
directive will take variable substitution. I'm going to write this
post assuming it does not.
I bet you can use a Run-before-job script (running on the remote
client) that generates the exclude list, and then specify that list
file like:
File "\\</remote/excludelist.txt"
The reason I say to use a run-before-job is because I know in the
Runscript directive you can pass certain job details to the remote
script, and it can use that logic to build the proper exclude list.
Maybe...
RunScript {
RunsWhen = Before
Runs On Client = yes
AbortJobOnError = Yes # You choice
Command = "/remote/buildexcludelist.sh %c > /remote/
excludelist.txt"
}
Where Bacula should replace "%c" with the current client name, and
your buildexcludelist.sh script can take that, parse it depending on
how you name your clients, and put the appropriate exclude list into /
remote/excludelist.txt. (If I am wrong, and you can also use %c in a
Fileset remote script specification, then you can just call the
script directly and use it's stdout and forget the run-before stuff.)
Good luck :)
