hi -- i recently realized that there are some pretty big files on
my system that change frequently, and which don't need to be
backed up -- mail index files, for example.
i'd like to be able to flag any file or directory that i want
backuppc to skip by adding a "._nobackup_" suffix to its name.
will this do the trick? (backup method is tar)
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '/proc'. '*._nobackup_' };
i'd also kind of like to be able to tell backuppc to skip ".o"
object files, but there are places where i don't want to do that,
like under /lib/modules. if i exclude "*.o", can i force inclusion
of all of /lib/modules by putting it into $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} ?
the docs are a little ambiguous on this for the tar method --
i.e., for smb only one of BackupFilesOnly and BackupFilesExclude
is used. but what about for tar, and in what order are they
processed?
thanks,
paul
