So I have modified the fileset.
I have check with bconsole that the modified fileset before I did reload
and it showed the unmodified fileset.
I then did the reload command and it then showed the modified fileset.
A nightly backup ran (as an incremental) and the director show
"FileSet: "Full Server Set" 2019-10-19 23:05:00" which is an old fileset.
What suggestions/guesses why Bareos continues to use an outdated fileset
definition rather than the updated one?

Firstly, try to respond to the group, not to me personaly. (It's a
common mistake :-))
Secondly, literarily taking the docs, it should just mean that it
won't get upgraded to full backup because the fileset changed but the
fileset itself should work as defined. But here someone more
experienced with the bareos internals should shed some light.

So I found nothing wrong or at least obvious to the amature but
The changes I made were in the options section.
I get a hint from the manual that this may not cause an updated file
to be used (under the fileset resource section). it says
"Any change to the list of the included files will cause Bareos to
automatically create a new FileSet (defined by the name and an MD5
checksum of the Include/Exclude File directives contents). Each time
a new FileSet is created Bareos will ensure that the next backup is
always a full backup. However, this does only apply to changes in
directives |File (Dir->Fileset->Include)| and |File
(Dir->Fileset->Exclude)|. Changes in other directives or the FileSet
Options Ressource
<https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html?highlight=fileset#fileset-options>
do not result in upgrade to a full backup."
Does this also mean that changes in the options sections of the
fileset do not trigger usage of the updated fileset. I do not see in
the test file a parameter for this but do find
bareos-dir (900): lib/parse_conf.cc:687-0 Item=IgnoreFileSetChanges
def=yes defval=false
IgnoreFileSetChanges I have never played with in my configuration files.

Confusing.
I'd try "bareos-dir -t" with reasonably high debug level (-d900,
probably) to see which files are being read and which directives are
being parsed. I know, it dumps a lot of stuff (you definitely want
to redirect it to a file for reading with your favourite editor) but
it should show what's going on.

Thanks MK but I did do the show fileset="Full Laptop Set" and it
displayed the correct information.
I used webui to see the fileset used in the backup, But looking at
the actual backups, It used a previous version of the file (one
specifically date as 8 Jan 2019).
The only way I could get it to update (shown below) was to change
the resource name in the Job definition to "Full_Laptop_Set" and of
course change the name of in the fileset definition in the fileset
directory.
before
Job {
Name = "BEE-XPS15_1bkup"
Level = Incremental
Storage = "BEE-XPS15-storage"
Pool = "BEE-XPS15"
Client = "BEE-XPS15-fd"
FileSet = "Full Laptop Set"
JobDefs = "Common_Attributes"
}
After
Job {
Name = "BEE-XPS15_1bkup"
Level = Incremental
Storage = "BEE-XPS15-storage"
Pool = "BEE-XPS15"
Client = "BEE-XPS15-fd"
FileSet = "Full_Laptop_Set"
JobDefs = "Common_Attributes"
}
and in fileset
from
FileSet {
Name = "Full Laptop Set"
Include {
Options {
Exclude = Yes
...
}
Options {
Signature = SHA1
Compression = GZIP6
}
File = "/home/bee"
File = "/media/windows/Users/bee"
}
}
to
FileSet {
Name = "Full_Laptop_Set"
...

I have update my fileset to include a new exclude statement. I

Unfortunately, Bareos continues to use the old version of the

statement in the manual to force Bareos to use the new fileset
definition. bconsole does show the updated fileset I have
created. So what is the correct way to get Bareos to use the
updated fileset in the backups.
I am on Ubuntu 18.04 server using Bareos 18.2.5-131.1 according
to webui

Question is how did you "update" the fileset and is it really used
in the job definition.
First things to check - do a "show job=<your-job-name>" and see
what's the fileset name and if it matches the fileset you were
editing.
Example from my installation:
*show job=srv2-linux
Job {
Name = "srv2-linux"
Client = "srv2-fd"
FileSet = "Linux-minimal-fileset"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
}
(to be on the safe side you can also do the "show client" on the
client name to be sure you got the right machine configured for
backup with this job)
Now if you have a FileSet (in my case it's called
"Linux-minimal-fileset"), you do a "show fileset=<fileset-name>"
command. Like this:
*show fileset=Linux-minimal-fileset
FileSet {
Name = "Linux-minimal-fileset"
Include {
Options {
Signature = MD5
Compression = GZIP6
OneFS = No
AclSupport = Yes
XattrSupport = Yes
Fs Type = "btrfs"
Fs Type = "ext2"
Fs Type = "ext3"
Fs Type = "ext4"
Fs Type = "reiserfs"
Fs Type = "jfs"
Fs Type = "xfs"
Fs Type = "zfs"
}
File = "/root"
File = "/etc"
File = "/home"
File = "/var"
File = "/srv"
Plugin = "bpipe:file=/_rpmlist_/rpm.lst:reader=/usr/bin/rpm
-qa:writer=/bin/bash -c ''xargs yum install -y''"
}
Exclude {
File = "/var/lib/bareos"
File = "/var/lib/bareos/storage"
File = "/proc"
File = "/tmp"
File = "/var/tmp"
File = "/.journal"
File = "/.fsck"
File = "/srv/backups"
}
}
If the name of the fileset matches what you edited, but the
contents don't, it probably means that you edited a wrong file
(try grepping for the fileset name on your /etc, /opt, or
/usr/local, depending on how you installed and configured Bareos).
BTW, it's not necessary to restart director after configuration
change. It's enough to do a "reload" from bconsole.

MK
