probably then setting up a little tar job to backup those files into
/root is the easiest. rsyncd is preferred for me because you can define
multiple shares with different includes/excludes. You can also secure
rsyncd by setting "hosts allow" in the clients rsyncd.conf.
Would need more info on your rsync options and settings to look further.

I would like to backup two single files that are off of / and I keep
getting the "not a directory" error.
Appreciate
any input
i gather your using rsyncd to do this and using seperate share names
for home rooo and etc?
if so you could define a fourth share and setup a BackupFilesOnly
directive like so...
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'root' => ['filname1', 'filename2'], # these are for the
root share only
};
However it may not be desirabe to share at root level so heres another
way...
setup a cronjob to tar the files into /root, which does get backed up.
Schedule it to suit your backup needs. If the files are mostly static
then you probably only need to run this once a night.
Hope that helps.
