Hi Joe,
>From some testing I did just now, what you have posted above appears to work
correctly.
Back when I set mine up, I approached it from the other direction.
I used the "wild" and "exclude = yes" directives in the Options section of my
Include stanza, to omit the dir with the sparse file. Then listed all the
other "File = " dirs to include, followed by a second Include stanza with the
"sparse = yes" option and the directory to include which contains the sparse
file:
--[snip]--
FileSet {
Name = Zimbra8Set
Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
Include {
Options {
compression = LZO
signature = MD5
# Omit dir with sparse files, it will be picked up below
wild = /backup/zimbra/data/ldap/mdb/db/*
exclude = yes
}
File = /etc
File = /var
File = /home
File = /root
File = /backup
File = /usr/local/src
}
Include {
Options {
compression = LZO
signature = MD5
# /backup/zimbra/data/ldap/mdb/db/data.mdb is a sparse 40GB file
sparse = yes
}
File = /backup/zimbra/data/ldap/mdb/db
}
}
--[snip]--
I did this a while ago, and am not 100% sure why I went that route instead of
the more straight-forward method you list above with a single Exclude {}
stanza. I am usually very good to document each change, why it is there, and
the reasoning behind the madness, but apparently not that time. ;)
