Backup Central

To get the multiple streams I've broken my filesets and their corresponding jobs into multiple pieces. The snippets below are 2 of the 7 that I created. I am finding that I am getting everything in /home from each of these filesets and not just the subset of the home directories. Testing with bwild suggests that the RegexDir should be correct. So, what am I missing?

FileSet {
Name = "home_dirs1 Set"
# Capture /home/[0-9]*
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
RegexDir = "/home/[0-9]*"
}
Options {
RegexDir = ".*" <--I have also tried /home/* to be more explicit
Exclude = yes
}
File = /home
}
}
FileSet {
Name = "home_dirs2 Set"
# Capture /home/[a-e]*
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
RegexDir = "/home/[a-e]*"
}
Options {
RegexDir = ".*"
Exclude = yes
}
File = /home
}
}

Your main RegexDir patterns are wrong: "/home/[0-9]*" matches everything
starting with "/home/" because of the definition of "*" in a regex. You
probably want wilddir = "/home/[0-9]*" instead.

Also, you should wild = "*" instead of RegexDir = ".*".

Thank you for the suggestions. Using wilddir on the includes works much
better than the RegexDir. I did find that using wild = "*" on the
excludes was problematic. I'd backup the directories, but none of the
files. I've switched to using wilddir for the excludes, too, which adds a
level of self-documentation to the fileset. A working example shows the
changes and I just adjust the wilddir statements for the fileset as needed.

FileSet {
Name = "home_dirs1 Set"
# Capture /home/[0-9]*
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
wilddir = "/home/[0-9]*"
}
Options {
wilddir = "/home/[a-z]*"
wilddir = "/home/[A-Z]*"

Exclude = yes }
File = /home
}
}
