Arno, Are you suggesting I create multiple fileset (directives) within bacula-dir.conf? If so, how do I identify the fileset with the client?
That is the root of my confusion, I cannot figure out how to correlate a group of files/directories with hosts. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!

You define the necessary clients first. Then you create the filesets you need - there will be at least four of them. /home/, /var/lib/mysql/, and /web/sites/ are easy. /usr/local/reports/A*.pdf will need wildcards or regexes in an options clause. Nte that backing up the mysql database files while the database server is running is useless - you need to shut down the database server, or dump the databases you're interested in to a file and back up that (or these) files. Hope that gets you started, Arno > /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ > David Gardner > email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com > Yahoo!
