Longer answer now I'm back at my computer...
If you wanted the following structure (I know nothing about afs so this
might be wrong but the idea should still hold):
/afs/user.aaa/
/afs/user.aaa/dir1/
/afs/user.aaa/dir1/file1
/afs/user.aaa/dir1/file2
/afs/user.aaa/dir2/
/afs/user.aaa/dir2/file1
/afs/user.aaa/dir2/file2
/afs/user.bbb/
/afs/user.bbb/dir1/
/afs/user.bbb/dir1/file1
Then you handle startBackupFile as normal, but at endBackupFile, return
bRC_More on all except the last file. Bacula will just keep calling you
until it sees something other than bRC_More.
You want to return the directories last though, with type FT_DIREND, eg:
/afs/user.aaa/dir1/file1
/afs/user.aaa/dir1/file2
/afs/user.aaa/dir1/
/afs/user.aaa/dir2/file1
/afs/user.aaa/dir2/file2
/afs/user.aaa/dir2/
/afs/user.aaa/
Which is the same as Bacula proper does it.
Can Bacula not just back up the mounted afs directory or are there some
shortcomings in doing so that you think would be best accomplished with
a plugin?
I've never used baculaAddInclude, but the Exclude is useful if the
plugin is 'instead of' some existing regular filesystem files, eg if you
had a MySQL plugin that backed up the database, it would tell bacula to
exclude the files that made up the database (eg /var/lib/mysql/* or
wherever they happen to reside), so you didn't have to manually exclude
them from the fileset. Not sure it would apply to AFS.
