From what i've learned from the manual the "Exclude = yes " expression in the body of the "options" Part just determines weather eventually given wildcards like "wilddir=\xxx\*yy" found in the defined fileset are to be included (default; no "Exclude = no" requiered) or excluded.
so here's one of my standard windows-filesets, the "options" part matches mostly all windows-server-disks, the "Exclude" part is machine-specific: FileSet { Name = "someWindowsServer" Enable VSS = yes Include { options { compression = GZIP ignore case = yes signature = MD5 exclude = yes wilddir = "*/temp" wilddir = "*/recycler" wilddir = "*/system volume information" wilddir = "*/tmp" } File = "C:/" } Exclude { File = "C:/Programme/Bacula/working" File = "C:/pagefile.sys" } } So from my point of view your initial backup should have backuped the whole path you specified. Why bacula doesn't consider the removement of the "Exclude" expression as a fileset change is beyond my knowledge.
