I checked the man page,but couldn't see the exclude directory
option,how shall exclude trash folder
From the manpage:
--exclude shell_pattern
Exclude the file or files matched by shell_pattern. If
a direc-
tory is matched, then files under that directory
will also be
matched. See the FILE SELECTION section for more
information.
In other words, --exclude works for files AND directories. There is an
extensive "FILE SELECTION" chapter in the manpage with examples. I
suggest you read it carefully. In fact, read the whole manpage
carefully. :-) Rdiff-backup has a lot of documentation, because it has
a lot of options and needs to do a lot.
You can also find the manpage online:
http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup.1.html
along with the other documentation: http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/docs.html
which includes a page of examples: http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/examples.html
