I re-read the chapter about filesets and fileset options.
In order to better understand what is happening I simplified the fileset as
follows:
> Fileset {
> Name = “cadat"
> EnableVss = no
> EnableSnapshot = no
> Include {
> Options {
> OneFS = no
> # RegexDir = "/mnt/cdat-.*"
> }
> # Options {
> # OneFS = no
> # Exclude = yes
> # RegexDir = ".*”
> # }
> File = "/mnt"
> }
> }
I was hoping it would then backup everything in /mnt (yes they are all
different filesystems, but OneFS is set to no).
Again, nothing was backed up.
I do not understand this result. I thought I had understood what is in the
manual about filesets, but obviously I did not.
