I think you need to split the Options clauses differently. Bacula scans them in order and accepts/rejects as soon as one matches, so your first clause matches only the directories whose name begins with "s" (including st123) and the second clause rejects everything else. Something like this will work: FileSet { Name = "home_s" Include { Options { exclude = yes wilddir = "/mnt/home/st123" } Options { wild = "/mnt/home/s*" compression = GZIP4 sparse = yes noatime = yes } Options { exclude = yes RegexDir = ".*" } File = /mnt/home } } __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
