Hi Ulrich,
I did exactly this using bacula 2.2.x with the following
configuration and it works great.
The Exclude{} in this example exludes every directory under /home
that contains a regular file called .BACULA_NO_BACKUP and logs what
has been excluded to /root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log
--------------------------------------------
FileSet {
Name = "MyFileSet"
Include {
Options {
exclude = yes
regex = ".*/[Cc]ache/.*"
}
Options {
signature = MD5
noatime = yes
aclsupport = yes
compression = GZIP
}
File = "\\</etc/bacula/backup-include.txt"
}
Exclude {
# exclude all dirs containing a file called ".BACULA_NO_BACKUP"
# (the following is ONE line)
File = "\\|sh -c 'for D in /home; do find $D -xdev -name .BACULA_NO_BACKUP
-type f -printf \"%h\\n\"; done | tee /root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'"
}
}
--------------------------------------------
I like to see that this has been implemented directly into bacula.
I guess this will speed up this process a lot although I never had
trouble with this solution being to slow.
