Hi! I'm using rsync to do hourly backups ov a number of server.
To let the users on the servers selectively drop parts of their filesystem for backups, I'm using a method utilizing a "Stop-file" In a dir that is not going to be backed-up the user pase a file named ".no-more-backups". Before running rsync I do a find / -name ".no-more-backups" to get a list of all dirs _not_ to backup. But now I'm scanning the entire filesystem twice, first time to find what not to rsync, and afterwards when rsync fetches the file-info. Would it be possible/an idea to include a "stop-file"-argument in rsync to let rsync do it all? Ofcourse the filename to look for should be user-selectable, but that should be a minor thing, if the general logic is available. -- Henning Wangerin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
