Hi, I'm posting a lot these days to the list. It is just that I am
finetuning my backup server, and want to do it in a nice way.
I was wondering about the following.
In my general conf.pl file I have stated that no hidden files should be
backuped, hence I have
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' => {'.*','*/.*']}
But in version 3.0.0beta3, the user is able to change those variables to
his likeing, unless the admin changes this.
So I turn this off and all is safe.
But assume now that user A wants to add the directory .thunderbird to
his backup. He should be able to include this in some way.
Any idea how this could be done.
I thought that next to
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
there also excists an
$Conf{BackupFilesInclude}
which does the oposite, and that would make it possible if I let users
edit this variable. Unfortunately this does not excist.
something else I noticed that after switching from version 2.1.0 to
3.0.0, is that the exludefiles are not appended anymore to the rsync
command.
in /var/log/messages/ I only get the rudimentary command without the
include and exclude's while this was the case in the previous version.
Thanks in advance for helping
Klaas
