Hello Everyone,
First of all, I have to say that after using many different backup methods (regular tarballs, daily "differential" tarballs, rsync) that rdiff backup kicks some major butt over other solutions. Thanks! There is one thing that it seems I haven't been able to get working though, whether due to the feature being unavailable or my doing something wrong, is excluding/specifying certain directories for restore. For example, I'm using this: /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup --force -v 5 -r 0D [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/storage/backups/server12/files/$(date +%Y)/$(date +%m)/sitename /tempdir Works fine to restore a recent backup (and/or overwrite my current data) However, /usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup --force -v 5 -r 0D --exclude logs [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/storage/backups/server12/files/$(date +%Y)/$(date +%m)/sitename /tempdir doesn't seem to work. I haven't figured out way to specific only a certain sliver of the backup either, for example if I wanted everything *but* the logs dir restored, or maybe *only* the logs dir restored. Any advice? Thanks in advance, TJA _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
