I don't know if it will help solve your problem, but according to the Bacula manual regarding FileSets (http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/FileSet_Resource.html) you can store the include list on the client (and therefore the owner of the client system can modify it). You can do so with a FileSet like: FileSet { Name = "ListOnClient"; Include { Options { ... } File = "\\</etc/bacula/include-list"; } } The '<' in the File directive tells bacula to read the list from a file and preceding the '<' with a backslash '\' (in this case two because you need a literal backslash in the quoted string) causes bacula to read the list from the client machine. I've not used this functionality because I'm just getting started with bacula but I intend to use it extensively if it proves to work well. I hope that helps. -- Joshua Colson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
