Thanks. Scripting a file list dynamically is a little
heavy-weight for what I was looking for though.
I was hoping that there was some way of saying "backup a/"
but exclude "a/b" but include "a/b/c", but exclude "a/b/c/d"...
i.e, includes and excludes could be cascaded somehow.
But from reading the documentation about 30 times and
the lack of response here, I conclude that it's not
possible; one only gets one level of include/exclude.
I tried using an exclude regex,
regex = "^/home/[^/]+/\\.(?!backup(/|$))"
which should do what I want. But bacula-dir complains it
is invalid.
Does Bacula include it's own regex code? Is it possible to
(easily) build it with a less-anemic regex library? (I am
using the stock Bacula-5.0.3 distributed in Fedora 15).
Finally (in case it helps someone else), I was able to use
a more basic regex that does the same as above but which is
obviously a lot less clear:
Regex =
"^/home/[^/]+/\\.([^b]|(b([^a]|$))|(ba([^c]|$))|(bac([^k]|$))|(back([^u]|$))|(backu([^p]|$))|(backup[^/]))"
