I mean that I don't know, for a fact, that
michelle-laptop michelle-A /cygdrive/c/Users {
simple-gnutar-remote
exclude list "/usr/local/etc/amanda/MyConfig/exclude/michelle-laptop"
include "./michelle/[A-CE-Za-ce-z]*"
estimate calcsize
}
will do what I want it to do. Can I have an "include" and an "exclude"
at the same time? Does the order matter? Does Windows and/or Cygwin
work the way I expect Unix to work?
I mean that I don't yet know exactly **how** small I want these DLEs
to be. These are doing backups over wifi, and it's not very good
wifi to begin with. I don't want the backups to take 24 hours;
I don't want them to take 8 hours if I can help it.
These are, for the most part, single-user machines. It's not a matter
of /home/* , it's a matter of /home/hymie/[A-Z]* vs /home/hymie/Downloads
(which by itself is 18GB) vs /home/hymie/[m-z]* .
