Hi, I have a setup of a server being backed up regularly over a DSL line to my server at home. After quite a bad crash I am in the process of restoring the data. There are some huge directories which I am now stuck a little. For those who don't know DSL: Here in Germany it's usually a high download speed, e.g. 6 Mbit/s and a slow upload speed, 300 kbit/s in my case. In addition, the ip is changed once every day, which results in a disconnect. Now I want to restore the big directories step by step. For that, I tried to restore like rdiff-backup -r 02-02-2010 --exclude /var/customers/web1 /home/backup/var/customers server::/var/customers but the directory /var/customers/web1 gets restored anyway. An option of --exclude /home/backup/var/customers/web1 gives an "invalid path specification" (or something like that) error. Also, doing it the other way around, first restoring /var/customers/web1 and then /var/customers does not work as the web1 subdirectory gets restored again (which is exactly what I'd like to prevent.
Is there any way to exclude certain directories from being restored?
