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 =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 34.0 degrees) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
