Hi Martin, if that is removed, then the sparse file will be backed up twice.

Once without the benefit of Bacula's sparse file support as part of the File =
/  in the first Include stanza - and it would be a full 40GB, then a second
time with Bacula's sparse file support as part of the second Include Stanza.

The Exclude makes sure Bacula skips it when sparse file support is not enabled.
