You can widen fuse access by putting 'user_allow_other' in /etc/fuse.conf and using '-o allow_other' (or equivalent, this is for sshfs) for the fuse filesystem mount command. Thanks, that's good to know. There is a fuse-fs for browsing rdiff-backup repositories [1]. Passing options to fuse is going to be enabled in the next release. With allow_user set I should be able to mount my config backup as root, but browse it as a user.

It is the successor to archfs. I am waiting for it get beyond 1.0.0 too. I use rdiffweb (0.6.3) which works well. Thanks for the tip re excluding filesystems.

Re: [rdiff-backup-users] [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/username/.gvfs'
Andreas: I have never used the --include-globbing-filelist, only the --exclude-globbing-filelist, but here are some suggestions: Try: run the command with sudo [for cron: put in /etc/crontab] Or: add '- /home/username/.gvfs' at the *top* of your filelist (if you haven't already tried it there) Or: put a symlink inside /etc/ to point to /home/username/.ssh/config and then just backup /etc? Or: do 2 runs of rdiff-backup, one for /etc and one for /home/username/.ssh/config What has fuse got to do with it? Fuse is not normally used by rdiff-backup. However I do successfully use rdiff-backup to backup a remote /home directory mounted using sshfs, so it can work.
