I've already been down this road, unfortunately. It's not scenic. You can do something with predump to do "find . -iname *.doc >/tmp/filelist" and then modify your tar command to use tar -T /tmp/filelist. Be warned, this totally messes up backuppc's notions of how incrementals work, and how the cgi interface "fills-in" incrementals. From what I have learned, you really are not supposed to circumvent the way backuppc crawls the filesystem. You give it paths to crawl, and exclude/include patterns, and that's it. Actually, forget predump-- can't you backup all word documents with an include filter? rsync --include=PATTERN Sorry for the rambling.. brien nilesh vaghela wrote: Can we run some extra command before starting the backup?? |
