Re: [rdiff-backup-users] backup different directories

[Claus Herwig]

Hi,

> Is there some way of placing these directories inside a file?

To backup all needed directories from a linux box in one pass I'm using

rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist bck.dat / rserver::rbckdir

with bck.dat containing something like
(first matching pattern is used)

+ /etc
- /home/*/log
- /home/backup
+ /home
+ /var/lib
+ /var/www
- /usr/local/man
+ /usr/local
- **

Please remember to use at least version 0.11.1 for this, as there was a 
bug in the globbing parameter which is fixed there.
