The latest version of LBackup has no support for the backup of multiple
directories in a single configuration file. You are not the first to request
this kind of functionality. I have been thinking about various ways of
supporting this kind of option. Either with a separate file for the directories
you want to backup or by have a listing multiple sources within in the
configuration file. I have yet to come up with a good way to implement this
functionally. Any suggestions in this regard would be welcomed.
At present if you are going to use LBackup you have two options available.
(1) Create multiple backup configurations. One for each directory you would
like to backup. This approach will allow you to have different schedules, pre
and post action scripts as well as multiple reports for each source directory
on the system. You may group related configuration directories into a directory
(eg for a single system) for easier management.
(2) Backup the root directory of your system and exclude the areas you do not
wish to backup, by defining them within the excludes.txt file within the
LBackup configuration.
Again, any alternative approaches would be welcome.
