Backup Central

Bacula 5.0.2, CentOS 5.8 x86_64.

I need a second pair of eyes on this.

I have a large file system (/mnt/home, 60TB) whose backups are split into
multiple jobs. Two jobs in particular: one to backup all directories whose
names begin with "s" except for st123, and a second job to backup just st123:

Job {
Name = "home_s"
JobDefs = "defjob"
Pool = Pool_home_s
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/home_s.bsr"
Client = client-fd
FileSet = "home_s"
Schedule = "Saturday4"
}

Job {
Name = "home_st123"
JobDefs = "defjob"
Pool = Pool_home_st123
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/home_st123.bsr"
Client = client-fd
FileSet = "home_st123"
Schedule = "Saturday1"
}

The file sets are as follows:

FileSet {
Name = "home_s"
Include {
Options {
wilddir = "/mnt/home/s*"
}
Options {
exclude = yes
wilddir = "/mnt/home/st123"
RegexDir = ".*"
}
Options {
compression = GZIP4
sparse = yes
noatime = yes
}
File = /mnt/home
}
}

FileSet {
Name = "home_st123"
Include {
Options {
compression = GZIP4
sparse = yes
noatime = yes
}
File = /mnt/home/st123
}
}

All is well with the home_st123 job: it backups up only what is expected.
However, the home_s job backups up only the directories whose name begins
with "s", but it also backs up st123, which has been excluded. Presumably
I have the Options clauses incorrectly defined?

TIA,

Steve

I found this line:
RegexDir = ".*"
In the exclude options to be the issue. I've removed it and have been
getting the exact backups required.

I think you need to split the Options clauses differently.

Bacula scans them in order and accepts/rejects as soon as one matches, so your
first clause matches only the directories whose name begins with "s"
(including st123) and the second clause rejects everything else.

Something like this will work:

FileSet {
Name = "home_s"
Include {
Options {
exclude = yes
wilddir = "/mnt/home/st123"
}
Options {
wild = "/mnt/home/s*"
compression = GZIP4
sparse = yes
noatime = yes
}
Options {
exclude = yes
RegexDir = ".*"
}
File = /mnt/home
}
}
