There must be a reason I used two, but I don't recall what it was. Probably something I found in rdiff-backup documentation when I originally created the excludes file. >Make sure you are using the dateext extension for logrotate. >Log files grow over time, and that can create a large file at >every backup. It's simpler just to get enough disk space. Bear in mind that my entire home folder (not counting the Distros folder) is only about 70 GB. That's all the data that I have created and deemed worthy of keeping since I started using computers. And 99% of it never changes, and has also been backed up on other drives. Several times a year I take an old external USB drive and make a backup of ~/ to it, and then the drive goes back in the fireproof file cabinet where it lives. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
