Hi Bacula users, I do not know how linux inotify works, but from your posts I think it is somewhat triggered by a file modification on the client. If thi is the case you can just record the filenames in a list and then use the "|" the use a script in the file selection. The script may also be on the client and a RunBefore script could make some editing (eliminating dups or whatever).

I'm guessing that any time an inotify event comes through for the file, that the Bacula File Daemon would add this file to a table. Then once per minute, or once per five minutes, Bacula File Daemon will match all the files in the table stored in memory against the FileSet Definition? > >However, I thought the FileSet Definition is stored on the Bacula Director (not the client).

Director can, for example, notify FileDaemon everytime a FileSet is changed. FileDaemon can store changes in SQLite database, storing in memory can be quite expensive. Feature like this can _rapidly_ speed up the backup process. azur ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
