Yeah, I have found that with TAR, there needs to be SOME content in the backup.
I would also suggest adding another set: (add the words around this; this is only the idea) CAMPUS-Other exclude “./a-z]*” # and by default, INCLUDE everything besides a-z This will catch anything that starts with a capital letter, or a number. Even if somebody adds them later, and you weren’t planning on them. But again, make sure there is initially something *in* the set. Perhaps a text file at the top level “00info” which describes the way you are splitting the backup “a-f”, …. Mostly just to have something there, but it might also be useful to know.
