So I have done a bit of reading and found I can do this instead:

FileSet {
  Name = bentham_full-set
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
      compression = GZIP
      IgnoreCase = yes
      Regex = "^E:/[0-9]prefix/[0-9][a-mA-M].*"
      Regex = "^E:/staff/staff[a-mA-M].*"
    }
    Options {
      IgnoreCase = yes
      # RegexDir = "^E:/[0-9]prefix/[0-9][n-z]" # Ignore students whose
first initial is an N through Z
      Wild = "E:/0prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/1prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/2prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/3prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/4prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/5prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/6prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/7prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/8prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/9prefix/*" 
      Wild = "E:/staff/*"
      @/etc/bacula/objects/aa-windows_exclude.list
      Exclude = yes
    }
    File = C:/Bacula
    File = E:/
    File = X:/
  }
} 

But now when I run the job, encryption and compression is turned off

Any ideas?

Subject: [Bacula-users] RegexDir problem

Hello,

I have the following RegexDir option in one of my filesets

RegexDir = "^E:/staff/((?!(staff))|staff[n-z])"

To clarify (hopefully), this statement matches anything which starts
E:/staff/staffn* through E:/staff/staffz*; AND anything which starts
E:/staff/ but does not next contain the word staff, e.g.
E:/staff/this_does_not_say_staff.

I have tested out the statement using this tool:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascriptexample.html and
everything woks fine, but when I run the config in Bacula I get the
following error: 

20-May 09:44 bacula-dir: ERROR TERMINATION at inc_conf.c:463 Config
error: Regex compile error. ERR=Invalid preceding regular expression

            : line 36, col 53 of file /etc/bacula/objects/bentham.conf
      RegexDir = "^E:/staff/((?!(staff))|staff[n-z])"

I have tried escaping the ? And ! But I get the same error.

Does any body have any ideas?
