Hello everyone !
Yesterday, I added a few files to my daily backup and, among them, my $HOME/.ssh directory. That was a mistake and would like to remove it from the backup. The FAQ says that the only way to do that is to to let the files expire using the --remove-older-than option. The problem is that this option cannot be used on subdirectories. I guess I would have to delete all files backed up yesterday. I thus have two question : - Is there another clean way to remove a subdirectory added in the last session - If not, to remove only the last session, have I to use --remove-older-than 0B or --remove-older-than 1B ? Would the following method work, given that my backup directory is /backup and that I just want to remove yesterday night backup (the last one) : - execute: $ rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 1B /backup (or 0B ?) - remove $HOME/.ssh from the include list - backup as usual with: $rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist [other options] /backup Am I missing something or is this ok ? Thanks beforehand !
