Mike,
In researching this problem myself I discovered this option to tar:
*--exclude-caches*
Exclude contents of directories containing file*CACHEDIR.TAG*,
except for the tag file itself.
Details about the cache tagging standard can be found here:
http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html
I think that this would be a good feature enhancement to Bacula but in
the interim I devised a workaround by using tar to archive the files and
directories, using cachedir.tag's & then using Bacula to back up the tar
archive.
HTH.
Cheers,
CMR

Hello, Mike,
With some other backup systems, a filename "tag" can be placed in
the directory to initiate a "skip".
For example, with BORG backup - placing the file ".nobackup" in a
directory, and configuring BORG backup with the switch...
--exclude-if-present ./nobackup
/...will tell Borg (on the fly) to skip that directory.
Does Bacula have this feature? I don't see anything in the
resource sections of the manual.
Please study the WildFile/Regex and Exclude directives from the
FileSet Options
sub-resource http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html.
