I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but here's the exact command I use to perform a system backup to a remote computer: rdiff-backup --ssh-no-compression --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /usr/tmp --exclude /tmp --exclude /usr/local/tmp --exclude /var/tmp --exclude /media --exclude /mnt --exclude /home/doug/dvdrip --exclude /home/doug/cdburn --exclude /usr/share/games/xplane / mothra_backup::/home/backup/backup_sets/ghidorah That's all one line. > -- 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? You can delete the rdiff-backup-data folder and then use --force option during the next backup. -- Where will it all end? Probably somewhere near where it all began. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
