Hi Melvin,
Really appreciate your response. But yep! There's the problem!
FileSet {
Name = "Full Set"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
#
# Put your list of files here, preceded by 'File =', one per line
# or include an external list with:
#
# File = <file-name
#
# Note: / backs up everything on the root partition.
# if you have other partitions such as /usr or /home
# you will probably want to add them too.
#
# By default this is defined to point to the Bacula binary
# directory to give a reasonable FileSet to backup to
# disk storage during initial testing.
#
File = /usr/sbin
}
#
# If you backup the root directory, the following two excluded
# files can be useful
#
Exclude {
File = /var/bacula
File = /tmp
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
File = /backup
}
}
That explains everything. I'm only backing up /usr/sbin! Where I'd really
like to be backing up the root partition with a few excludes. Could've
sworn I'd changed that default but I guess my eyes lied to me. Thanks for
the help! Feel a little dumb, but I appreciate the help!
