Martin, thanks, I admit that for me the fileset definition is one of the more
confusing things in Bacula. Thanks for the explanation, however, honestly, I
don’t get it.
I adapted the fileset according to your proposal, and this is what baculum
makes from it:
Fileset {
Name = "test-appdata"
EnableVss = no
EnableSnapshot = no
Include {
File = "/home/dockerman"
Options {
OneFs = "No"
RegexDir = "^/home/dockerman/containerdata-"
}
Options {
OneFs = "No"
Exclude = "Yes"
RegexDir = "^/home/dockerman/[^/]+$"
}
}
Running this results in actually nearly the same result. The delta of the
outcome are actually 3 files (gleaned form the numbers of the jobs, I don’t
know which files that are).
Does the order of the declarations (as seen above) have anything to do with
this result?
