I just installed BackupPC 3.1 on a CentOS5 system. It's working, but not quite the way I expected. Here's the problem.
I wanted to only backup the directory /etc/namedb . I put this in the BackupFilesOnly section for the host in question and selected the Override option. I had also put /etc in the BackupFileExclude section for the server because in general I don't want the whole /etc directory to be backed up on the hosts I'm going to add. I was thinking that the BackupFilesOnly selection would take precedence over the BackupFilesExclude selection. It turned out that this was incorrect. Nothing at all from /etc was backed up. So, I removed /etc from the BackupFilesExclude configuration for the host in question but now the backup includes everything in /etc, which is way more than what I want. My question is, how can I specify that I want specific subdirectories backed up without including the whole parent directory? Any help would be appreciated.
