I have update my fileset to include a new exclude statement. I have

continues to use the old version of the fileset definition for the
backup. I do not find an update statement in the manual to force
Bareos to use the new fileset definition. bconsole does show the
updated fileset I have created. So what is the correct way to get
Bareos to use the updated fileset in the backups.
I am on Ubuntu 18.04 server using Bareos 18.2.5-131.1 according to webui

Question is how did you "update" the fileset and is it really used in
the job definition.
First things to check - do a "show job=<your-job-name>" and see what's
the fileset name and if it matches the fileset you were editing.
Example from my installation:
*show job=srv2-linux
Job {
Name = "srv2-linux"
Client = "srv2-fd"
FileSet = "Linux-minimal-fileset"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
}
(to be on the safe side you can also do the "show client" on the client
name to be sure you got the right machine configured for backup with
this job)
Now if you have a FileSet (in my case it's called
"Linux-minimal-fileset"), you do a "show fileset=<fileset-name>"
command. Like this:
*show fileset=Linux-minimal-fileset
FileSet {
Name = "Linux-minimal-fileset"
Include {
Options {
Signature = MD5
Compression = GZIP6
OneFS = No
AclSupport = Yes
XattrSupport = Yes
Fs Type = "btrfs"
Fs Type = "ext2"
Fs Type = "ext3"
Fs Type = "ext4"
Fs Type = "reiserfs"
Fs Type = "jfs"
Fs Type = "xfs"
Fs Type = "zfs"
}
File = "/root"
File = "/etc"
File = "/home"
File = "/var"
File = "/srv"
Plugin = "bpipe:file=/_rpmlist_/rpm.lst:reader=/usr/bin/rpm
-qa:writer=/bin/bash -c ''xargs yum install -y''"
}
Exclude {
File = "/var/lib/bareos"
File = "/var/lib/bareos/storage"
File = "/proc"
File = "/tmp"
File = "/var/tmp"
File = "/.journal"
File = "/.fsck"
File = "/srv/backups"
}
}
If the name of the fileset matches what you edited, but the contents
don't, it probably means that you edited a wrong file (try grepping for
the fileset name on your /etc, /opt, or /usr/local, depending on how you
installed and configured Bareos).
BTW, it's not necessary to restart director after configuration change.
It's enough to do a "reload" from bconsole.
