Yes, that is the problem. "/home/*/.*" matches "/home/smcg4191/Maildir/.foo"
:-( You'll probably have to use regex for that one.

Look at man fnmatch. Bacula can pass the FNM_CASEFOLD flag if IgnoreCase=yes
is specified, but that is the only documented option.

There's no reference in any of my configs anywhere (dir, sd, fd) on either machine to that IP, so it makes me think the Director is resolving it, using that value internally, and then passing that over the wire instead of the FQDN specified in my config.

Unless the job is really huge, I'd probably do #1, because bscan is (slightly) dodgy, especially for backups that span volumes (IMHO, note that it is _much_ better than not having bscan at all). Sorry I can't provide more detail, hopefully someone else will be able to help more. -se -- Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.

[Bacula-users] Access denied errors but clean exit?
Hi All, I have a windows 2003 server that uses EFS in a few areas. I understand that bacula can't handle these currently and that's fine. I believe the use of EFS here is an inherited error that will likely go away. What concerns me though is that the job log indicates 'ERR=Access denied' for each of the affected files but the status of the job is still 'OK.' Shouldn't this generate at least an 'OK (with Warnings)' status?
