[rdiff-backup-users] Using parameters like --include-globbing-filelist doesn't appear to work when using on Windows |

Hi,
I recently began using rdiff-backup and have been successful in automating
backups of my Xserve to my Linux server. I also have backups working
somewhat successfully from my Windows 2000 Server to my Linux server.
Currently on my Windows 2000 server, I have installed the "Windows" version
packaged by Solutions First and I am using the rdiff-backup.bat file
contained in that package.
If I do something like this:
rdiff-backup.bat d:/Source address@hidden::/backup/win2k
Everything works fine.
But I want to back up more than one directory on the D: drive and so I would
like to do something like:
rdiff-backup.bat --include-globbing-filelist=backup_list.txt --exclude d:/
d:/ address@hidden::/backup/win2k
Backup_list.txt contains
D:\sourcedir1
D:\sourcedir2
No matter what I try (changing \ to / and such in both the command line and
the backup_list.txt file) the best result I get is that the win2k directory
is created on the Linux server and an rdiff-backup... directory is created
under it.
Does this include and exclude functionality not work if you are on a Windows
machine?
Any insights as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
Doug
