Hi Thomas,

It isn't clear from your message what you are asking for help with. That 
said I have made some comments inline below.

It isn't clear if Exclude is the only reason why you want to upgrade to 
v3 but the Exclude directive in FileSet has been there for a long time 
and it certainly exists in the 2.x series. There is no need to upgrade 
to get that functionality.

Why not just copy/move the data from /backup into /mnt/backup and then 
change your -sd configuration to point to /mnt/backup. That way you can 
keep all of your existing backups and get your setup correctly 
configured without too much disruption.

Before you copy the data you should ensure that no backups are currently 
running and stop the -sd before moving the files. Once you have moved 
the files edit you bacula-sd.conf to point to the new location and 
restart the sd daemon.

Regards

Richard
