Hello,
I don't think yout fileset is working the way you think/want.
This fileset will not compress, nor create md5 signature for any files
in /, /boot /home, or /var. I'd expect you to see "No
signature found for file xxxx" during restores. (or some similar
message)
Are you sure about that? The doc says "However, one additional point
is that
in the case that no match was found, Bacula will use the options found
in the
last Options resource." so I think that will make it work.
In words, your example fileset says to backup those included
directories and below, but exclude those two wild files, and one
wilddir, but only if they are found in the root directory.
But, I am not even sure th
ose wilddir and wildfiles will correctly work because you have not
included any wildcards in them.
The lack of any wildcards will not cause a problem.
I would re-write this fileset as follows:
----8<----
FileSet {
Name = FirewallFull
Include {
Options {
compression = gzip
signature = md5
}
File = "/"
File = "/boot"
File = "/home"
File = "/var"
}
Exclude {
File = ISO
File = .fsck
File = .journal
}
}
----8<----
This example will compress and create an md5 signature for everything
under /, /boot /home, or /var, and then will exclude
any files or directories called ISO, .fsck, and .journal wherever they
are found.
If you want to anchor them to the root directory only, then set them
to /ISO, /.fsck, and /.journal
This Exclude clause looks wrong to me, because the File items will
match
nothing. Don't you need
File = "*/.fsck"
to match .fsck anywhere?

I apologize for unintentionally hijacking thread and not paying enough
attention to the original poster's issue. This came from a policy I
have had for over 10 years, so have not revisited it for quite some
time.
I appreciate the feedback and will now have to consider what was stated
here and do some further testing. I thought this worked as expected a
long time ago, but apparently it could use some refreshing and some
retesting.
Thank You.
