Re: [Bacula-users] Excluding a nfs mount

Phil,

Thanks for the tip, but it still did not work. For what ever reason it keeps backing up /mnt/hailee--the nfs mount. Any other suggestions.

thanks,

Trevor

Hi,


thanks to everyone to replied to my question on compression on the
Exabyte-8900 drive.  I have been trying all day to exclude an nfs mount
from the File set.  After pouring over the manual on the FileSEt section
and trying many variations on a theme the program continues to backup
the nfs mount.  I have tried:

1.) Putting wilddir = in the Include option and then using the Exclude =
yes

2.) Putting the File = /mnt/hailee in the Exclude section under th file
set.

All to no avail.  I have put the relevant section below.

# List of files to be backed up
FileSet {
 Name = "Full Set Hailee1"
 Include {
   Options {
     signature = MD5


Here's your problem:

         
   wilddir = /proc
   wilddir = /tmp
   wilddir = /mnt/hailee
   wildfile = \.journal
   wildfile = \.autofsck
           Exclude=yes
   }
#   #  Put your list of files here, preceded by 'File =', one per line
#    or include an external list with:
#
#    File = <file-name
#
#  Note: / backs up everything on the root partition.
#    if you have other partitons such as /usr or /home
#    you will probably want to add them too.
#
#  By default this is defined to point to the Bacula build
#    directory to give a reasonable FileSet to backup to
#    disk storage during initial testing.
#
   File = /
   File = /var
   File = /usr
   File = /home
   File = /boot
   }

#
# If you backup the root directory, the following two excluded
#   files can be useful

 Exclude {
   File = /proc
   File = /mnt/hailee
   File = /tmp
   File = /.journal
   File = /.fsck
 }
}


Since you're explicitly listing the filesystems you ARE backing up, both
onefs and most of those excludes are unnecessary.  This has caused your
Fileset specification to grow in complexity far beyond what is actually
needed.


Try this instead:

FileSet {
  Name = "Full Set Hailee1"
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
    }
  File = /
  File = /var
  File = /usr
  File = /home
  File = /boot
  }
  Exclude {
    File = /tmp/*
    File = /.journal
    File = /.fsck
  }
}

If you're bothering to exclude .journal and .fsck files in the root, you
may as well exclude the ones on the other filesystems as well.  Then
again, make sure you actually have them before you bother trying to
exclude them.  I use ext3 filesystems, with journalling, and I don't
have .journal files.
