Hi all:
I am using BackupPC-3.1.0 and I want to back up a share using the
following exclusion patterns under rsync:
+ */
+ */Maildir/**
- *
basically I want to include any directory tree starting with the
directory Maildir one level below the root of the transfer: specified
as /home, and passed to the remote rsync as /home/.
I specify this in a host specific config file using:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/home' => ['+ */', '+ */Maildir/**', '- *'],
};
If I look at the xferlog after letting it run for a bit and killing
the job (is there any way to view this log without killing the job
first??) I see:
...
Checksum caching enabled (checksumSeed = 32761)
Got checksumSeed 0x7ff9
Sent include: /+ *
Sent include: /*
Sent include: /*/Maildir
Sent include: /*/Maildir/**
Sent include: /- *
Sent exclude: /*
Sent exclude: /*/*
Sent exclude: /*/Maildir/*
Got file list: 276916 entries
Child PID is 9628
Xfer PIDs are now 1690,9628
...
which looks wrong as the +/- specifiers look like they are included in
the paths. Also the '*/' specifier needed to recursively include all
directories is missing. I have no clue where:
Sent exclude: /*/Maildir/*
is coming from. So I guess I am asking how do I need to specify my
rsync exclude/include rules (which do properly select the files of
interest when placed in a --include-file and passed to the rsync
client).
I can't put these in RsyncArgs as that array is used for every share
and would result in in nothing being backed up for any other share.
Now the funnypart about this, is that is seems to work properly. The
files that I saw transferred before I killed the backup actually look
like they matched my criteria, but I am at a loss as to how this is
occurring.
