+== Configure Bacula Director==
+Bacula has several components that must be configured independently in order to function correctly. The configuration files can all be found in the '''/etc/bacula''' directory.

+This is the main configuration file of Bacula and we will modify this file later according our Lab setup.

-== Configure Bacula Director==
-Bacula has several components that must be configured independently in order to function correctly. The configuration files can all be found in the '''/etc/bacula''' directory.
+== Add !FileSets (Bacula Server) ==
+A Bacula !FileSet defines a set of files or directories to include or exclude files from a backup selection, and are used by backup jobs on the Bacula Server.
+With the default Bacula Server components, you already have a !FileSet called “Full Set”. If you want to run Backup jobs that include almost every file on your Backup Clients, you can use that !FileSet in your jobs. You may find, however, that you often don’t want or need to have backups of everything on a server, and that a subset of data will suffice.
 
-We’ll start with the Bacula Director.
+Being more selective in which files are included in a !FileSet will decrease the amount of disk space and time, required by your Backup Server, to run a backup job. It can also make restoration simpler, as you won’t need to sift through the “Full Set” to find which files you want to restore.
 
-Open the Bacula Director configuration file in your favorite text editor. We’ll use vi:
+We will create new !FileSet resources, so that you can be more selective in what you back up.

+On your '''Bacula Server''', open '''bacula-dir.conf, '''
