Hi All..
Is there a way of backing up just the directory without the files inside
it? i.e. /proc
I'd like to be able to backup /proc for instance and in case I need to
do a bare metal recovery I wouldn't need to create /proc manually.
I tried some wildcards but wasn't successful.
Any sugge

I'm 95% certain that you can create a FileSet which takes a list of targets
from the output of a script. You could use this feature to solve

This is one of the reasons I am switching from AMANDA to Bacula.
Recreating /proc by
If you do something like backup
File = /
but do not allow filesystem trasitions, Bacula (version 1.36.3, and perhaps
one or two versions earlier) will write out all the directory entries for the
filesystems not backed up. They will then be restored.
In any case, in order to run Bacula in di
I doubt the rescue disk will automagically create the /proc mount
point on the hard disk that is being restored. It will create a /proc
mount point on the fielsystem it is running from, probably a RAM disk.
Same for the /dev/* special files. Unless you built the rescue disk
yourself, chances are

Kern,
You are right about the Bacula rescue disk. I was thinking about
rescue disks in general. I am working to get my backups solid before
venturing into bare metal restores, simulated (i.e., onto a spare
partition) or real (onto a nice, shiny new hard disk after the old one
turned to slag).
