I did not mean the value of the directive but the name of the directive itself. Everywhere in the FileSet in Bacula you use the word "Exclude" when dealing with files that will not be backed up. So I suggest to follow this terminology instead of introducing a synonym. I think this will increase usability. So I think Exclude Flag File = .no_backup would be more intuitive about what it does than Ignore Dir = .no_backup Also I think because of using the word 'Dir' many people would expect this to be a directory which will be ignored and will try something like this: Ignore Dir = /tmp will will be nonsense of course ;) -Marc -- 8AAC 5F46 83B4 DB70 8317 3723 296C 6CCA 35A6 4134 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
