Re: [rdiff-backup-users] excluding .git, .svn, &c from rdiff-backup

[Adrian A. Baumann]

Not quite. The new backups will look exactly like you've deleted .git and then taken a backup - i.e., the ignored files/directories will be in the backup increments before the configuration change and won't be in the ones after. In time, they will be removed when you do a --remove-older-than [time].

Yes, .git will be removed from existing backups.

Hi and thanks. Will try for the next scheduling. Do you know if the .git directories will be removed from the existing backups -- or should I remove and start with a fresh base/full (non incremental) backup?

Hi Brice,

try this:
#!/bin/sh
rdiff-backup \
    --exclude '**.git' \
    --exclude '**.svn' \
    --exclude '**.ssh' \
    --print-statistics \
    /home/ /backups/test-target/

I have a relatively simple rdiff backup script which backs up the `/home` directory to `/backups/test-target`.

|===

#!/bin/sh
rdiff-backup \
    --exclude '**/.git' \
    --exclude '**/.svn' \
    --exclude '**/.ssh' \
    --include /home \
    --exclude / \
    --print-statistics \
    / /backups/test-target

running rdiff-backup 1.2.8 (debian wheezy)

Many thanks.

I want to exclude any .git, .svn, and .ssh directories encountered. Unfortunately the above does not appear to be working to accomplish this (.git directories are included in the backup). Any ideas? Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
