so what the file is saying is rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist music.glob --exclude /media/storage/2/Music/Music/ /media/storage/2/Music/Music /media/storage/1/Music will include all the directories in /media/storage/2/Music/Music that are listed in my music.glob file since the include comes first. even if the exclude excludes the same folder here's the problem. that doesn't work. -steve _______________________________________________ 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
