Hi all! Is there an easy way to specify --exclude-other-file-systems but have the empty directory of the mountpoint included in the backup?
My use-cases are system backups of workstations without any user data, device files, proc or sys filesystems. After a complete system restore, those directories currently have to be created manually. Currently I work around this by specifying excludes like $mountpoint/** and so on, however that way it's easy to miss mountpoints which actually have nothing to do with the bare rootfs of a linux machine (like sshfs or another upcoming tmpfs mount in /lib/init/rw or /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs *rant*) because that particular mount just doesn't exist or is not in use at the time of writing the backup config... Thanks! PS: Please CC me in your answer since I'm not on the list. -- Regards, Daniel
