Hi Hanpedro,
I will try to explain a little more clearly. Your command line is
backing up the source folder '/'. This folder contains /etc which
contains /etc/ssh which contain /etc/ssh/*, so there is no need to
include /etc/ssh/* a second time in the include-globbing-filelist
/root/backuplist.txt.
Try removing the line '/etc/ssh/*' from /root/backuplist.txt, then run
the backup command and have a look in the repository (that is, the
destination) - you should find the contents of /etc/ssh/* at
/var/_backup/etc/ssh.
[As I understand it from reading the section in man, the purpose of the
'--include' option (and related options) is to re-include files that
have been excluded by an '--exclude' option (and related options)
appearing later on the command line (later because the options are
processed in reverse order). You cannot include files or directories
with an '--include' option that are not in the original source directory.]
Regards
Dominic

Dominic,
Thanks for your kind comment.
My previous quote is mistake.
Actually I couldn't see your message.
My browser has some problem.....
About "Solution is to remove this line from /root/backuplist.txt ", I want to
backup /etc/ssh/*.
Anyway, I will try and ask you again.

My guess is that your file /root/backuplist.txt has in it a line
/etc/ssh/*
and this is causing rdiff-backup to fail (because, as it explains, you are trying to include something that would be included anyway and so it thinks you must have made a mistake). Solution is to remove this line from /root/backuplist.txt

I've installed rdiff-backup as follows:
vista x64 : cygwin with rdiff-backup 1.2.1
centos 5.2 on vmware : rdiff-backup 1.2.2
Command: rdiff-backup --force --print-statistics --include-globbing-filelist
/root/backuplist.txt / identityname::/var/_backup
error message:
[root:localhost:~]# rdiff-backup --force --print-statistics
--include-globbing-filelist /root/backuplist.txt / identityname::/var/_backup
Warning: Local version 1.2.2 does not match remote version 1.2.1.
Fatal Error: Last selection expression:
Command-line include glob: /etc/ssh/*
only specifies that files be included. Because the default is to
include all files, the expression is redundant. Exiting because this
probably isn't what you meant.
Any comment would be appreciated.
