There's no specific option to exclude door files, but a ListError has the same effect---rdiff-backup will act as if those files don't exist. (There's no door-specific code in rdiff-backup so it doesn't know they are special files, only that it can't handle them.) So anyway, just ignore those ListErrors. -- Ben Escoto
