Package: backupninja Version: 0.9.3-4 Severity: wishlist
It'd be really nice if backupninja supported exclude lists in separate files. I'm converting my cronned rsync backups to backupninja, but this means that I must put my exclude statements in the /etc/backup.d/99.rdiff file, instead of in a separate file in my home directory, like I've been doing, which makes it very easy and quick to add an exclude for something I no longer need or want backed up. In fact, what would really be nice is if backupninja supported a ~/.backupninja file in which every user could specify what he did not want backed up in the system's backupninja backups. Then the sysadmin could turn on an option in his backupninja rdiff config to use those files. For myself, it's a one-user system, so it's only a bit more trouble to add the excludes as root. But for a multi-user system, I imagine it would be quite useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15adp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages backupninja depends on: ii bash 3.1-2 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii dialog 1.0-20060126-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii gawk 1:3.1.5-1 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii mawk 1.3.3-11 a pattern scanning and text proces backupninja recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
