Because Bacula will not descent into mounted filesystems that it has not
been specifically told to. This is a good thing; you do NOT want it to
descend into /proc or /sys, for example, and on modern Linux systems
where /dev is managed dynamically, you almost certainly don't want it to
descend into /dev either. Neither do you want it to descend into, for
example, NFS or other network-mounted filesystems that are already being
backed up once from their server.
The idea is that you explicitly list each filesystem you want Bacula to
back up, then exclude the directories within those filesystems that you
do not want backed up.
You CAN change this behavior using the onefs directive; by default, this
is set to onefs=yes, which tells Bacula to remain within a single
mounted filesystem. You CAN explicitly set onefs=no, in which case
Bacula will follow all mount points. BE VERY CAREFUL about doing this.
There may be unexpected consequences. On most operating systems, if you
do not have a very good specific reason to do this, it's best not to.
It's certainly not something you should be doing when you're still new
to Bacula.
