As far as I see, a recursive marking of a file pattern is not possible
withn bacula directly. The part in the help section "mark       mark
dir/file to be restored recursively, wildcards allowed" means, that
you can add a file (or file pattern) in the local directory, or you
can add a directory, where it's contents are recursively restored.

As I see, you can circumvent this restriction with a little help of your bash:

In the bacula console, you type:

$ find *.bak
/usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd.bak
/usr/local/etc/webmin.bak/
/usr/local/etc/webmin.bak/config.bak
[...]

which, as you stated, does list all your files matching the *.bak
pattern in all subdirectories. This output gets now written per
copy-and-paste into a temporary file (with "vi tempfile.txt" for
example). Then you output the contents of this list through a little
bash scripting:

for line in `cat tempfile.txt`; do echo "mark $line"; done

This output would then again pasted into your bacula console with
copy-and-paste, to mark all *.bak files.

And, since the console based bconsole is capable of reading commands
from STDIN, you're of course able to build a little shell script
around it...


Hope this helps,
