I expected that /home/andreas/chroot/sid/home/andreas would be
included in the backup but this is not the case.
boxbackup is running several days now so it should be there, even in
lazy mode.
Unfortunately not. If you Exclude a directory, then Box Backup will never
scan it or its subdirectories, and will never make it down the tree to
/home/andreas/chroot/sid/home/andreas which should be backed up.
At the moment, the workarounds are to either (1) create a new location, or
(2) exclude all files and directories under the excluded directory, except
the ones on the path to the AlwaysIncluded directory, like so:
ExcludeFilesRegex = /home/andreas/chroot/.*
ExcludeDirsRegex = /home/andreas/chroot/.*
AlwaysIncludeDir = /home/andreas/chroot/sid
AlwaysIncludeDir = /home/andreas/chroot/sid/home
AlwaysIncludeDir = /home/andreas/chroot/sid/home/andreas
AlwaysIncludeFilesRegex = /home/andreas/chroot/sid/home/andreas/.*
AlwaysIncludeDirsRegex = /home/andreas/chroot/sid/home/andreas/.*
I'm sorry that this is not very convenient. I would like to change the
include/exclude logic in a subsequent release to make it easier to specify
configurations like yours.
Cheers, Chris.
