Two things that are odd... you're including "c:/documents and settings" but
then excluding c:/temp, that's just unhelpful. My approach is a little
different--tell it to back up c:/ and then exclude the dirs and files I
don't want.
So here's what I have... works for XP, Vista, Win7:
FileSet {
Name = "c-drive-dirs"
EnableVSS=yes
Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
Include {
Options {
@/opt/bacula/etc/bacula-filesets.inc
}
File = "C:/"
Exclude Dir Containing = "excludemefrombackup"
}
}
The reason to include bacula-filesets.inc is so we can do C: on some
computers, C: and D:, C: and F: on other computers, etc similarly.
Anyway, bacula-filesets.inc contains the following (please excuse the
word/line wrapping that e-mail puts in):
signature = MD5
noatime = yes
ignore case = yes
Exclude = yes
WildDir = "*/DO_NOT_BACKUP"
