Good morning,
I have a couple of questions about the examples on the man page.
duplicity --exclude /mnt --exclude /tmp --exclude /proc /
file:///usr/local/backup
Would that not cause duplicity to try and also back up the /usr/local/backup
directory (the directory it's placing its backup in) ?
--include ignorecase:’/usr/[a-z0-9]foo/*/**.py’
would match a file like /usR/5fOO/hello/there/world.py. If it did match
anything, it would also match /usr. If there is no existing file that the
given pattern can be expanded into, the option will not match /usr.
Does this mean that all of /usr will be backed up if something matching the
include matches? Or just enough of /usr to satisfy hitting what was matched?
I thought I understood the --include and --exclude stuff, but apparently that
is not the case. :-)
I'm trying to back up a few directories under /mnt/data, but not all of them,
thus I'm not using --include /mnt/data and --excluding a dozen others.
duplicity
--no-encrypt
--include /etc
--include /home
--include /mnt/data/usrlocal/scripts
--include /mnt/data/var/data
--include /mnt/data/var/spool
--include /mnt/data/var/www
--exclude /mnt/data/var/www/site1
--exclude /mnt/data/var/www/site2
--exclude /mnt/data/var/data/duplicity
--exclude '**'
/ file:///var/data/duplicity/root
But this quickly fills up my root, because it seems that site1 and site2's
areas are getting backed up... What am I missing?
-A.
