Configuration Files

File Sets

By default, Bacula will not transcend filesystems. If you're sure that you want to backup something on another filesystem, you should specify the mount point of that filesystem explicitly.

You shouldn't backup anything that's mounted via NFS for two reasons - 1) it's better to backup on the server where the data is actually stored so you won't back it up twice and, more importantly 2) if the NFS mount isn't available, the backup would fail.

Job Status Codes

These were taken from the database in my 2.2.4 installation on openSuSE (installed from SuSE RPMs).
