Hi,
I have been using rdiff-backup happily for some years now without any issue. So thanks! I am updating my use to exclude a set of directories that are created when using virtual environments for python development. These directories are created into the source trees and they are always called '.pixi'. Since they are scattered all over the place when one has many projects, I can’t use full paths or even relative paths to a common base dir. I first tried using --exclude '**.pixi', but they are still present in the backups. I don't know if there is some interaction with other include/exclude options, so I have tried using --exclude-regexp '.pixi' and the result is the same. I am a bit ashamed of asking the question, but I have read the man page and done some research on the internet and I still struggle to understand what the problem is. Thanks in advance for your help. G.
