hi !
let me guess, you are a legato networker user and are used to do the same
with .nsr directives ?
thinking about this, i think it could be useful to have something with
rdiff-backup, too.
what about extending rdiff-backup and making it look for e.g. ".rdiff-info"
files in every subdir, which can contain appropriate include/exclude
statements, so an ordinary
user can judge about what to backup and what not?
i often use .nsr directives to exclude whole directory trees from networker
backup, because otherwise i would need to call it-department, telling them
to exclud my "temporary 100gig workarea" and waiting half an hour to get
this done - just to safe _their_ precious space on backup-tape.
regards
roland

How can I exclude the parent directory of a file when backing up with
rdiff-backup? I don't want to backup directories which contain the file
.nobackup
Have you tried "--exclude **/.nobackup"?
Yes, it correctly excludes the file .nobackup, but not more.
