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.

Hi all,

I am somewhat struggling with the fileset algorithm, noob birth pains I guess.

I have a bunch of VMs that have mounted(!!) docker container appdata in /mnt/cdat-<containername>.

So I wish to backup /mnt/cdat-* on each of these VMs, meaning I wish that the content of each subdirectory in /mnt where the name starts with "cdat-“ gets backed up.

So I looked into the main manual for fileset directive syntax. And I found this example:

FileSet {
         Name = "Full Set”
         Include {
                Options {
                         wilddir = "/home/a*”
                         wilddir = "/home/b*"
                }
                Options {
                        RegexDir = ".*”
                        exclude = yes
                  }
        File = /home
        }
}

So what I did is this (and it does not work, just returns 1 file, and that is wrong):

Fileset {
 Name = “cadat"
 EnableVss = no
 EnableSnapshot = no
 Include {
   Options {
     OneFS = no
     RegexDir = "/mnt/cdat-.*"
   }
   Options {
     OneFS = no
     Exclude = yes
     RegexDir = ".*"
   }
   File = "/mnt"
 }
}

I know it must seem kinda obvious where the problem is for those who have been around with bacula for a while. For me it is kinda “magic”.

Where is my mistake?

Thanks for helping out!

Below is an example Fileset I use which has includes and excludes.

Fileset {
  Name = "Firewall Full"
  Include {
    File = "/"
    File = "/boot"
    File = "/home"
    File = "/var"
    Options {
      Compression = "Gzip"
      Signature = "Md5"
      Exclude = "Yes"
      WildDir = "/ISO"
      WildFile = "/.journal"
      WildFile = "/.fsck"
    }
  }
}
