Windows FileSet Issues

I'm sure I'm not doing this properly, but I cannot figure out what the issue is. I'm new to bareos, and trying to get a backup of a windows system. Everything works fine on Linux, and I can backup multiple linux boxes.

I have the following definition:

FileSet {
Name = "Windows D: Drive"
Enable VSS = yes
Include {
Options {
Signature = MD5
Drive Type = Fixed
Ignore Case = Yes
#WildFile = "[A-Z]:/pagefile.sys"
#WildDir = "[A-Z]:/RECYCLER"
#WildDir = "[A-Z]:/$RECYCLE.BIN"
#WildDir = "[A-Z]:/System Volume Information"
#Exclude = yes
}
File = D:/
}
}

Everytime I run this against a client, it says it completes, but it backs up nothing. I have tried using the default "Windows All Drives" fileset, the only difference being it has a "File = /" instead of File = D:/, and it will backup all the drives on the system without issue.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. From the docs, it looks like what I am doing is correct, but it sure isn't working.

Hi Adam,

I`m pasting my working fileset for windows OS as example

FileSet {
Name = "Buh fileset"

Include {

Options {
signature = SHA1
IgnoreCase = yes
WildFile = "[A-Z]:/pagefile.sys"
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/RECYCLER"
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/$RECYCLE.BIN"

WildDir = "[A-Z]:/System Volume Information"

Exclude = yes
}

File = "d:/"
}

Include {

File = "c:/Users"

Options {
signature = SHA1
IgnoreCase = yes
#RegExDir = "^c:/Users/[^/]+$"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Documents"
WildFile = "c:/Users/*/Documents/*"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Desktop"
WildFile = "c:/Users/*/Desktop/*"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Downloads"
WildFile = "c:/Users/*/Downloads/*"
}

Options {
IgnoreCase = yes
Exclude = yes
#WildFile = "c:/Users/*/*"
#WildDir = "c:/Users/*/"
#RegexDir = "^c:\/Users\/(\w+)\/(AppData|Contacts|Favorites|Links|Seaches)"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/AppData"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Application Data"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Contacts"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Cookies"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Favorites"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Links"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Local Settings"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Music"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/My Documents"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/NetHood"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Pictures"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/PrintHood"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Recent"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Saved Games"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Searches"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/SendTo"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Start Menu"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Templates"
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Videos"

WildFile = "c:/Users/*/NTUSER.*"
}

}
}

I think the problem can be "File = D:/" Try to use lowercase for driver name

I gave that a try, and doesn't seem to be any different. Here's the messages I get:

Now I know that there is data on that drive, actually about 200GB on it. Any idea why it would just completely ignore the data on the drive?

I changed the fileset to be a lowercase d:/ and it did the exact same thing.

Hi,

have you figured out how to use wildcard / regex on windows clients?
I'm facing the same problems.

Bareos dir 15.2.3
client : 15.2.2 (16Nov15) Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Edition (build 9200)

Fileset:

FileSet {
Name = "muc1-exchg"

Enable VSS = yes
Include {
Options {

signature = MD5
IgnoreCase = yes
WildDir = "D:/VeeamBackup/muc1-exchg-*"
}
}
}

On the client there are 2 folders :

"D:\VeeamBackup\muc1-exchg-1"
"D:\VeeamBackup\muc1-exchg-2"

but neither estimate nor backup match any of the folders.
Also tried with
regexdir = "D:/VeeamBackup/muc1-exchg-.*" , and then
regex = "D:/VeeamBackup/muc1-exchg-.*"

but none of them match my folders :(.

and this works :

FileSet {
Name = "muc1-exchg"

Enable VSS = yes
Include {
Options {

signature = MD5
IgnoreCase = yes
}
File = "D:/VeeamBackup/muc1-exchg-1"
File = "D:/VeeamBackup/muc1-exchg-2"
}
}

Thanks,
Robert
