The correct way to understand what Bacula is doing is that
File = c:/
File = d:/
Means to walk down the C: drive and the D: drive and do what is
specified in the options block(s). It does not mean to backup
everything only that files found on those drives are to be considered.
Then Bacula for each file it finds in C: and D: looks at the Options
block(s) to decide for each file whether to include it or exclude it.
Note there is an implicit "Include every file" after the last Options{}
block; this is to ensure that if there are no Options blocks or if not
Options block matches a file, the file will be included.
Knowing the above, one then just looks at what the Options{} blocks do
for each file.

That is not really the way it works. Whether or not each file is to be
backed up is *always* determined by the Options blocks. The File
statements just select files to be examined by the Options blocks.

In this case, the exclude applies to every file that comes into the
options block because there are no other restrictions in the form of
wild cards, ...
