Hello,

I've been trying to make a backup with rdiff-backup from Windows Vista to a
remote Linux box via ssh.
I'm trying to achieve something like this:

"S:\Program Files\rdiff-backup\rdiff-backup.exe" --exclude-globbing-filelist
"S:\Program Files\rdiff-backup\my_exclude.txt" --remote-schema "s:\Program
Files\putty2\plink.exe -i privatekey.ppk %%s rdiff-backup --server"
s:\Temp\doc u...@example.com::/home/user/.rdiff-backup

File my_exclude.txt looks like this:
- s:/Temp/doc/test

I've tried other variations, like S:\\/Temp\\/doc\\/test or
S:\Temp\docwhich was suggested in Windows howto, but nothing works and
it throws this:

Fatal Error: Fatal Error: The file specification
's:/Temp/doc/test'
cannot match any files in the base directory
's:\Temp\doc'

So my goal is to exclude "test" directory from S:\Temp\doc. I am planning on
backuping my Documents after I success with this, so I would also like to
exclude some directories with spaces in their name (like "My Games").

Is it possible to do this with rdiff-backup on Windows?

Thanks and regards,
GroundZero
