Christian,

before bacula had the "Exclude Dir Containing" feature I used
something very similra to you example like that:

File = "\\|sh -c 'for D in /home; do find $D -xdev -name .BACULA_NO_BACKUP \
        -type f -printf \"%h\\n\"; done | tee /root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'"

That worked very well over years.

So I think something like that for include should work well for you.

File = "\\|sh -c 'for D in /home; do find $D -xdev -name .BACULA_BACKUP \
        -type f -printf \"%h\\n\"; done | tee /root/bacula_included_dirs.log'"
