Good morning everybody, ...uh, no, I don't think so. How I understood Dominic is that you shouldn't have a "rdiff-backup-data"-directory as a direct subdirectory of your backup-root. As long as it's at least one level down, it should be fine. If you do exclude all the rdiff-backup-data directories, you'll lose the complete backup history in their parent directories. To answer with your example: /home/eric/repository/budget/index.php: OK /home/eric/repository/budget/index.php: OK /home/eric/repository/budget/rdiff-backup-data: Not just OK, but needed if you want thei backup history in ".../budget" /home/eric/repository/experiment/rdiff-backup-data: ...same for ".../experiment" /home/eric/rdiff-backup-data: Would *not* be OK, as this would conflict with the rdiff-backup-data-directory generated in your backup destination. Hope that helps, my caffeine level isn't quite up to writing any clearer yet. Cheers, Ade Baumann
