I have done so, and at the same time, use the exclude append and removed
the trailing /* and the result now seems ok, at least the size of the
dumps in the workspace corresponds to my estimation (backup still
running).
You said that "an include implies exclude all else", this clarifies
some behaviour. But I have 1 DLE with multiple "includes":
"
fiume.localnet Vbox /home/charles {
#
# Virtualbox elements
#
generic
include "./.Virtualbox"
include "./vbox"
} 2
"
Will that work? Or is there an equivalent "include append" required?
Many thanks,
Charles
