Hello Stefan,
You are welcome!
Well, it is 23:41 here now, so I have switched from coffee to beer. :)
Understandable ;-)
I didn't add "signature" but already came up with this yesterday:
Fileset {
Name = "VM_XYZ"
Include {
File = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup/Backup XYZ"
Options {
WildFile = "*.vbk"
}
Options {
Exclude = "Yes"
RegexFile = ".*"
}
}
}
seems to work!
OH! Look at you, jumping from WildFile to RegexFile! :)
I was trying to keep things simple, but OK. :)
Yes, this is fine. Remember my first post about there always being
several ways to do something in Bacula? :)
Sure. So far it seems to work. At least I see other things to learn now
... as I get used to Bacula.
Do I have to add that signature-line?
To confirm why I made that comment, try running a restore of one of
these jobs that you have now backed up. ;)
>> What do you see?
Will do tmrw
Sounds as if I should add these lines asap.
Glad y
ou got this working!
And, if you like we can talk about Client side scripts to point your
`File = ` at too. Just for more fun and practice, of course. BUT...
client side scripts are a bit less scalable as you might imagine. :)
Right now I don't know if I might need them. But I always like to learn.

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

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=
This way you don't have a bunch of failed jobs in your catalog. :)
Ah, good, that's a nice learning, thanks!
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.
I totally agree, but it's not fully in my hand.
The Veeam--backups are done by another admin there .. I will talk to him
to use better naming and also generalizing the directory names.
I am proceeding with editing and testing all my Filesets and Jobs now.
Have a great day,

If you include exclude = yes in your Exclude {} block then all Files
and/or directories selected would be excluded. If you leave out the
exclude=yes statement then everything will be _included_ (seems weird
to me since the block is clearly called Exclude...)
First of all a Exclude {} block accepts only File directives. If you
want to exclude files and/or directories based on wildcards or regexps
than you have to put these insind an Options {} block. If you include
exclude = yes in your Options {} block then all Files and/or
directories selected would be excluded. If you leave out the
exclude=yes statement then everything will be _included_
Following your example the FileSet should look like this:
FileSet {
Name = WinxpFull
Enable VSS = yes
Include {
Options {
wilddir = c:/windows/temp/*
wilddir = *temporary internet files*
wildfile = *pagefile.sys

}
Options {
signature = SHA1
compression=GZIP
ignore case = yes
}
File = c:/
File = d:/
}
Exclude {
File = c:/temp
File = d:/temp
}
}
Note that if you put something inside an Exclude {} block it will be
completely ignored (the whole directory). If you have to restore your
system then there will be no temp dir on you disks.
thanky you very much. i think i got it now. its been a little
confusing at the start but makes some sense now.

I think you have this mixed up. All matching items in the Exclude

are excluded and exclude = yes is ignored there.
Can you give an example where that is wrong?
