Package: rsnapshot
Version: 1.2.9-1
Severity: normal
With the following lines in the configuration file:
exclude /sys
exclude /proc
backup [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ wall/ exclude=/var/spool/squid
the rsync call used is
/usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative
--delete-excluded --exclude=/var/spool/squid --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ /srv/backups/daily.0/wall/
you can see how the /sys and /proc excludes are being ignored.
I would consider this a bug as this behaviour is not documented.
I think global exclude/include options should apply to all backups.

Martin,
I am closing this bug as it appears this is the wanted behavior. You
should list the exclude parameters in the rsync_long_args option if
you want them to apply globally, as explained in my previous post.
I am closing this bug, please do not hesitate to reopen it if you
feel it was closed in error.
Simon
