If you take the example from my post to Roland: rdiff-backup --include-filelist include.txt --exclude-filelist exclude.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/ /backup/lun/my.webserver.com include.txt /data exclude.txt / rdiff-backup _will_ create a /backup/lun/my.webserver.com/data directory. But the directory created is completely empty, so it seems like no files are backed-up at all.

However, this is not necessarily a good idea.
