i have a fairly large repository that i back up using something like:
$ rdiff-backup remote::/m /backups/remote/m
but now i want to add some other folders that are above /m, e.g.:
$ cat include_file
/m
/etc
/usr/local/etc
$ rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist include_file --exclude / \
remote::/ /backups/remote
is there a way to merge the new folders into the existing backup tree
or do i have to move the old /backups/remote/m folder out of the way
and start from scratch? i am less concerned about preserving
historical increments than i am with having to refetch the many gigs
of data that comprise remote::/m.
