Is this Fileset correct?

I don't get files with this ... seems not to match.
Hello Stefan,No, this will not backup anything because you have not specified anything to backup with a `File = /path/to/somewhere` inside of your `Include{}` block. So far, you have only set something (WildFile) inside of an `Option{}` block.
There are several ways to do what you want (there always is with Bacula :)The first, based on your current Fileset template will require a `File =` line as mentioned above and also another `Options{}` block to exclude everything else:
----8<----
Fileset {
Name = "VM_xxx-y"
Include {
# This option block matches your *.vbk files and creates a signature in
the catalog for backed up files
Options {
signature = sha1 # You need a signature, so I
added this
WildFile = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup/*.vbk" # Note, I fixed your extra
quotes and a backslash and simplified here
}
# This options block says to exclude everything else, not matched above
Options {
WildFile = "*.*"
Exclude = yes
}
File = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup" # And finally, what 'top level'
directory are we considering for backups
}
}

This "Should work"™ I have not tested it, and wrote it quickly in my email client before finishing my first cup of coffee
this morning. :)
Remember, when you have re-configured this Fileset and have issued a `reload` command in bconsole, instead or running the job, you can quickly see if your settings do what you want with an `estimate` command like:
* estimate listing job=xxxx This way you don't have a bunch of failed jobs in your catalog. :)P.S. I see your files (or directories, I am not 100% sure which) have spaces in their names. I would recommend doing yourself a favor and not using spaces if you can help it. It will make your life easier and save you from needing to "escape" spaces with backslashes, etc.
