First, I'm new to backuppc, so this may be something I've missed in the
docs.
Setup: (K)ubuntu 7.10 on an old PIII
backup directory is on /backup filesystem (as /backup/backuppc)
changed backup directory by modifying /etc/init.d/backuppc
machine name is shebop
I'm using rsync to backup the machine itself. Here's the relevent section of
/backup/backuppc/pc/shebop/config.pl:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/',
'/export/bedroom',
'/export/lildell',
'/data/extra',
'/data/home_videos',
'/data/images',
'/data/mp3s',
];
In my main config.pl I have:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';
#and
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'--devices',
'--links',
'--times',
'--block-size=2048',
'--recursive',
'-D',
'--one-file-system',
];
My problem is that the system is backing up the /backup filesystem for some
reason:

You can see here that the rsync is being passed two directories: '.' and
'/'. Is that normal? I think this may be the root of my problem, but I can't
quite figure out how the . is getting there. Any suggestions?
