Status in Back In Time: Fix Committed
Bug description:
If you backup the root directory (/) of your machine, it doesn't do anything.
The rsync command line contains this:
--include="//**"
but it should contain this:
--include="/**"
I think this happens because for all other directories, it makes sense to put
in the leading and trailing slash; but for the root dir, it doesn't. For
example, this makes sense:
--include="/mydir/**"
Side note: when backing up the root directory, I have to manually exclude all
sorts of system directories and mount directories: /tmp, /media, /mnt, /sys,
/proc, /dev, and so on. It would be nice if they were excluded by default.
