This command works perfectly, but I want more. My include.lst file will later contain more lines, e.g.: /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/Luc/Application\ Data/ /cygdrive/t/data/** /cygdrive/l/foo/** - ** > If this doesn't work, maybe there is a problem running rdiff-backup to a > samba-mounted volume on the rdiff-backup server?

It's neither Samba-mounted nor Windows-based, it's a normal directory in a normal filesystem (on a Proxmox VM): luc@jana:~$ df -hT /mnt Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/simfs simfs 250G 166G 85G 67% / The fact that is is being served also by smbd doesn't disturb rdiff-backup. Thanks for your answer which made it even more clear that it is probably a simple misunderstanding on how to specify which files to include.
