I've tried to understand the backup exclude mechanism, but, apparently, have failed dismally.

-- so I'm just going to ask (I have been trying on -and off for about a month now, and really need to get this online.)

Where I have the following structure:

/home
.../lost+found
.../foo-users
.../shares
....../music
........./foo-users
....../share.ppsi
........./no.backup
........./(most paths in the backup)
....../script
........./backup-goes-here

and I want to back up everything in /home except for the (music and all sub-paths under music) and the (no.backup and all sub-paths under no.backup), how do I set up my exclude file, and what command do I use to execute rdiff-backup?

-- Also -- now that rdiff backup has incorrectly backed up a path that I don't want backed up, how do I reset it to a state where it thinks it is the first backup ever -- so that I can continue testing with a clean set?

Thanks for any help given.
