I couldn't write that into a file set definition.
My efforts would bring me all the log files  :-(

| *estimate job=****
| Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
| Connecting to Client ***-fd at ****:9102
| 2000 OK estimate files=684277 bytes=47,077,206,076
| *reload
| *estimate job=****
| Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
| Connecting to Client ***-fd at ****:9102
| 2000 OK estimate files=685768 bytes=50,348,262,388


Also I did spend time on another approach.

It involves an action at client side.  In the bash shell I did

  for D in $( find /var/log -type d ); do echo "but not all the log files in 
it" > $D/.restorethislogdirectory; do

The result is like
| # find /var/log -name .restorethislogdirectory | tail -n 6
| /var/log/pm/.restorethislogdirectory
| /var/log/cups/.restorethislogdirectory
| /var/log/news/.restorethislogdirectory
| /var/log/httpd/.restorethislogdirectory
| /var/log/puppet/.restorethislogdirectory
| /var/log/prelink/.restorethislogdirectory

And at Bacula server side had I a fileset like

| FileSet { Name = "rootbootvar"
|   Include {
|     Options {
|       signature = MD5
|     }
|     File = /
|     File = /boot
|     File = /var
|     File = /var/spool/cron
|   }
|   Exclude {
|     File = /proc
|     File = /tmp
|     File = /var/log
|     File = /var/spool
|     File = /.journal
|     File = /.fsck
|   }
| }

And did change that into

| FileSet { Name = "rootbootvar"
|   Include {
|     Options {
|       signature = MD5
|     }
|     File = /
|     File = /boot
|     File = /var
|     File = /var/spool/cron
|   }
|   Exclude {
|     Options {
|       Exclude = "no"
|       Wild = "/var/log/*/.restorethislogdirectory"
|     }
|     File = /proc
|     File = /tmp
|     File = /var/log
|     File = /var/spool
|     File = /.journal
|     File = /.fsck
|   }
| }

But with no effect.

Other attempts with
| Wild = "/var/log/*/.restorethislogdirectory"
couldn't persuade Bacula to backup those hidden files.


More hints how to get /var/log directories during restore
are very welcome
