I know that a feature is planned in the version3, but I need full backup now ;)

The exclude file is updated with some ssh command before the backup
starts so the file is up to date.
And like this i've a centralized view of the exclude file of each
machine on my bacula director server.

there's also this variant for a client execution :
File = "\\< /path/to/fileList"
Also, sorry for the response time, I've tryed to upgrade my PC from
kubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and it fails... (seems that the raid1 setup has
been lost at boot time)
