Hey, we've been using Bacula for quite some time now. Before that we were using Arkeia, and one feature I rather liked about Arkeia was that you could simply create a file called .ARK_NOBACKUP in a directory and Arkeia would exclude that directory and all of its children from the backup.
This allowed not only the administrator but also normal users to
selectively exclude stuff from their home directories, e.g. a download
directory containing a couple of ISO images or something like that. All
of our users (of which we don't have that many) know that they can
easily shoot themselves in their collective feet with this if they put
such a file into the wrong directory, so I'm not concerned about them
excluding important directories too much.
Now, how could I achieve something like this with Bacula? My current
idea is to have a small Perl script find all directories with such a
file and to use that like...
FileSet {
Name = "..."
Include {
...
}
Exclude {
File = "\\|bacula_exclude_dirs.pl"
}
}
Would that work? Problem is that this might take quite a while for huge
file systems. But after searching the docs again I couldn't find another
way.
Regards,
Mosu
