Hi all,

I've been reading the manual on-line, but I'm still having problems
getting my fileset to exclude a directory and all it's sub-files.
Basically, I want to NOT backup all the .thumbnails/ directories
created by gqview.  Doing a quick search and count of files, it came
out around 88,000 files/directories to exclude.

Here's my fileset:

  # List of files to be backed up on jfsnew
  FileSet {
    Name = "Full Set"
    Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
    Include {
      Options {
        wilddir = \.thumbnails
        exclude = yes
      }
      File = @/etc/bacula/FileSet-jfsnew
    }
    Exclude {
       File = /sys
       File = /proc
       File = /tmp
       File = .journal
       File = .fsck
       File = /local/mysql
       File = .thumbnails
    }
  }

The problem is, if I do an edit to the /etc/bacula-dir.conf file to
make the changes, where I added the lines to BOTH the Include and
Exclude directives, then do a 'reload' inside bconsole and another
estimate, it shows up with almost the same numbers of files and
directories, they only differ by around 100 in the file count.

Am I doing something wrong here?   I basically want to exclude ANY
directory and the files in it called .thumbnails/ from backups.

Or how can I see what the estimate command will actually backup as a
list?


Thanks,
John
