Hi Heitor, Thanks for your comment. However, I have observed that the Exclude directive DOES work for a directory in a dynamic fileset.
What I mean is any file in a directory generated by dynamic fileset script, that matches the Exclude regex directive is NOT backed up, as expected. However if a file appears as a single standalone file (not part of some top level dir) in a dynamic fileset, it is backed up even if it is supposed to be excluded. For example, The Exclude resource mentions *.mp3 to be excluded Given below is the dynamic file set contents and its treatment by Bacula : 1. /home/yateen/testdir/foo1.txt --> Backed up, as expected 2. /home/yateen/testdir/foo1.mp3 --> Not backed up , as expected 3. /home/yateen/foo3.mp3 --> Backed up, although supposed to be excluded Note that the files in Sr No 1 & 2 above is part of a directory , whereas the Sr No 3 is a standalone file.

You must add that filter to your script.

This generates some extra filenames (not dirs) for the dynamic Fileset that are also supposed to be excluded as per the Exclude resource. I observed that Bacula is not excluding such files from backup at all and these files are getting backed up. So my question is if a filename appears in the Fileset and also there is a regex pattern for it in the Exclude resource, does Bacula override the Exclude directive ?
