Backup
Perform a backup by running the job via bconsole.
Below is an example of a Fileset and a Job:
Fileset:
FileSet {
Name = "big-fs-plugin"
Include {
Options {
signature=MD5
}
Plugin = "big-fs: workers=5 include=/etc include=/home"
}
}
Job:
Job {
Name = "BigFsPluginJob"
Type = Backup
Client = host-fd
FileSet = "big-fs-plugin"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
Write Bootstrap = "/opt/bacula/working_dir/bootstrap.bsr"
AllowIncompleteJobs = no
Accurate = yes
}

Note
When a Big FS job is started, the initial Big FS job that starts is the control job
which will backup a single empty record and then trigger additional worker jobs.
It is anticipated that this control job backs up 1 file and 0 bytes.
