Hmm.. never tried that. You mean you have an --exclude rdiff-backup-data on your command line? This made me think about something related: what happens if the tree you're backup up contains an rdiff-backup-data directory? Will it be escaped? Will it be ignored? Will it be used and screw up the whole thing? Maybe there's a difference between having an rdiff-backup-data directory at the top-level of the backed-up tree or having it somewhere down the tree. The latter case might give other problems when trying to restore parts of the tree below that point? Could someone familiar to the sources and the ideas please shed some light on this?
