I am attempting to send a list of files to Bacula from the Client using this syntax described in the manual:
Any file-list item preceded by a less-than sign (<) will be taken to be a file. This file will be read on the Director's machine at the time the Job starts, and the data will be assumed to be a list of directories or files, one per line, to be included. The names should start in column 1 and should not be quoted even if they contain spaces. This feature allows you to modify the external file and change what will be saved without stopping and restarting Bacula as would be necessary if using the @ modifier noted above. For example: Include { Options { signature = SHA1 } File = "</home/files/local-filelist" } If you precede the less-than sign (<) with a backslash as in \<, the file-list will be read on the Client machine instead of on the Director's machine. Please note that if the filename is given within quotes, you will need to use two slashes. Include { Options { signature = SHA1 } File = "\\</home/xxx/filelist-on-client" } If I use the \\< syntax I can not estimate or run the job to create the backup I get errors like: 12-Aug 19:29 ws27-fd JobId 297: Could not stat "File = /mnt/fog006/ddrswa/jckh/dlr_leopard_dev_12/dfb/doc/001-10043-dfb-BROS-starB.doc": ERR=No such file or directory 12-Aug 19:29 ws27-fd JobId 297: Could not stat "File = /mnt/fog006/ddrswa/jckh/dlr_leopard_dev_12/dfb/doc/001-10043-dfb-BROS-starB.pdf": ERR=No such file or directory 12-Aug 19:29 ws27-fd JobId 297: Could not stat "File = /mnt/fog006/ddrswa/jckh/dlr_leopard_dev_12/dfb/doc/001-10043-dfb-BROS-starC.doc": ERR=No such file or directory # List of files to be backed up - 19 lines FileSet { Name = "Test_FS_ws27" Include { Options { compression=GZIP signature = MD5 } # Backup Specific Files From a WorkSpace on FOG # This could be created by a script that would be # RunBeforeJob to place a list of files that are not under # Sync or ICM Control File = "</net/ws27/disk2/ddrsbu/bacula/Test_Job_ws27.txt" } # Exclude { # Exclude SnapShot Directories File = /.snapshot } } *estimate The defined Job resources are: 1: Job_Test_FileList 2: Default_Job_WS27 3: Default_Job_nfs5 4: BackupCatalog_WS27 5: RestoreFiles_Default_Job_WS27 6: Camgian_nfs5_icmwa Select Job resource (1-6): 1 Using Catalog "MyCatalog" Connecting to Client ws27-fd at ws27.ms.camgian.com:9102 2000 OK estimate files=0 bytes=0 * If I use the @ and restart bacula-dir I can estimate or run the job to create the backup # List of files to be backed up - 19 lines FileSet { Name = "Test_FS_ws27" Include { Options { compression=GZIP signature = MD5 } # Backup Specific Files From a WorkSpace on FOG # This could be created by a script that would be # RunBeforeJob to place a list of files that are not under # Sync or ICM Control File = @/net/ws27/disk2/ddrsbu/bacula/Test_Job_ws27.txt } # Exclude { # Exclude SnapShot Directories File = /.snapshot } } *estimate The defined Job resources are: 1: Job_Test_FileList 2: Default_Job_WS27 3: Default_Job_nfs5 4: BackupCatalog_WS27 5: RestoreFiles_Default_Job_WS27 6: Camgian_nfs5_icmwa Select Job resource (1-6): 1 Using Catalog "MyCatalog" Connecting to Client ws27-fd at ws27.ms.camgian.com:9102 2000 OK estimate files=49 bytes=28,406,715 *quit [r...@ws27 bacula]# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
