Ah, yes, wilddir will suffice here. I was just overly cautious about wilddir
matching a prefix, but that only happens with a trailing *, for example
merging
wilddir = "/a/b/c/owned-by-bacula"
wild = "/a/b/c/owned-by-bacula/*"
into one line like this:
wild = "/a/b/c/owned-by-bacula*"
will spuriously match /a/b/c/owned-by-bacula-but-unwanted.

Works! Thanks!
It also works if I replace regexdir with wilddir (and remove the ^ and $).
I actually tried something like that, since this is what you described
verbally, but I must have missed something, because it didn't seem to
work then. Too tired...
Thanks,
Avi.

You need to match the parent directories themselves and then the contents of
owned-by-bacula:
FileSet {
Name = test-fileset
Include {
Options {
# Match all directories leading up to the cherry picked directory
regexdir = "^/home$"
regexdir = "^/home/avrozen$"
regexdir = "^/home/avrozen/temp$"
regexdir = "^/home/avrozen/temp/bacula-test$"
regexdir = "^/home/avrozen/temp/bacula-test/owned-by-root$"
regexdir =
"^/home/avrozen/temp/bacula-test/owned-by-root/owned-by-avrozen$"
# Match the cherry picked directory itself
regexdir =
"^/home/avrozen/temp/bacula-test/owned-by-root/owned-by-avrozen/owned-by-bacula$"
# Match the contents of the cherry picked directory
wild =
"/home/avrozen/temp/bacula-test/owned-by-root/owned-by-avrozen/owned-by-bacula/*"
}
Options {
# Skip everything else
wild = "*"
Exclude = yes
}
File = /
}
}
Note the $ at the end of each regexdir to make it match only the directory and
nothing else with that prefix.

Thanks for the explanation and tips.
I tried it and a few other file set configurations, based on the
examples in [1], specifically the following, which is supposed to
include only home directories of users whose usernames start with either
'a' or 'b':
FileSet {
Name = "Full Set"
Include {
Options {
wilddir = "/home/a*"
wilddir = "/home/b*"
}
Options {
RegexDir = ".*"
exclude = yes
}
File = /home
}
}
But I can't get bacula to do what I want. I tried the following file
set to backup files in my test directory, but it excludes everything
except for files in the root directory:
FileSet {
Name = test-fileset
Include {
Options {
wilddir =
"/home/avrozen/temp/bacula-test/owned-by-root/owned-by-avrozen/owned-by-bacula"
}
Options {
regexdir = ".*"
Exclude = yes
}
File = /
}
}
Any ideas? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Avi

Is this the expected behavior? Yes, this is the expected behavior. During a backup, Bacula looks inside the directories you give in the 'File =' lines and doesn't save any information about the parents. It is difficult to get the cherry picking behaviour, but I think it is possible. You need to start higher up the tree and use two Options clauses to select the files to include and exclude. The first Options clause must match only what you want to back up (the parent directories themselves plus the cherry picked files/directories, but not other contents of the parent directories). The second Options clause should use wild = "*" and Exclude=yes to remove everything else. __Martin -- Come build with us!

[Bacula-users] losing directory permissions and ownership
Hi,
I'm at my wits end here. I'd appreciate any feedback on this.
I have the following directory
/home/avrozen/temp/bacula-test/owned-by-root/owned-by-avrozen/owned-by-bacula/bacula-test
with some files in it. I've specifically chowned the directories and
files to different users and groups.
The relevant director configuration is at the bottom of this message.
Note the single File directive pointing to the directory above.
When I restore the files all parent directories except for bacula-test
lose their permissions and owner/group (all are set to 0751/drwxr-x--x
root:root).
I'd like to cherry pick directories to backup and have them restored
with correct ownership and permissions...
What am I doing wrong? Is this the expected behavior?
Please help,
Avi.
