QUOTE My general advice is to back up everything and then explicitly excluding those things that you know that you don't need. Here is my exclude list from my rsnapshot.conf
exclude /var/log exclude /var/tmp exclude /usr/obj exclude /usr/ports/distfiles exclude /usr/local/squid Also I backup by file system, so I'm already excluding /tmp UNQUOTE Interesting... That raises another question... How feasible is it to restore a server from these backups? Is it really possible to install 7.2 on a new machine and then just copy the backed up data onto the new machine? I guess I should really verify the value of my backups by trying to do exactly that! -- John _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
