>From my reading of the documentation for FileSet's it would seem that the
following would not be valid:

"Any file-list item preceded by a less-than sign (<) will be taken to be a
file. This file will be read on the Director's machine at the time the Job
starts, and the data will be assumed to be a list of directories or files,
one per line, to be included. The names should start in column 1 and
should not be quoted even if they contain spaces. This feature allows you
to modify the external file and change what will be saved without stopping
and restarting Bacula as would be necessary if using the @ modifier noted
above."

But what about WildFile/WildDir?

FileSet {
 Name = "Desktop Set"
 Include {
  Options {
   Signature = MD5
   Compression = GZIP
   Sparse = yes
   Exclude = yes
   IgnoreCase = yes

   WildDir = "<exclude-dirs"
   WildFile = "<exclude-files"
  }

  File = "C:/"
 }
}

This would be very useful since at the moment if you are backing up a
large number of Wnidows machines (as I am) and they all need slightly
different filesets (as these do) you end up duplicating enormous portions
of the same FileSet, the excludes bit is the most common - not the files
part, which makes the administration a big pain.

My exclude-dirs and exclude-files take up about 150 lines and it is
repeated again and again. Is there any way to achieve this, or if not can
this be added as a feature request?

Thanks
