I'm trying to back up my home directory while excluding the /VirtualBox
VMs directory. I came up with this new command that, according to the
syntax instructions, should mean rdiff-backup would henceforth skip that
directory.
rdiff-backup --api-version 201 backup --exclude
'/home/eric/VirtualBox VMs' --include /home/eric
--exclude '**' /run/media/eric/backup
Yet, when I ran this command, it proceeded to backup the 'VirtualBox
VMs' folder. I thought I understood the syntax as saying that the
--exclude Folder, coming before the --include /home/eric would take
precedence and leave Folder out of the /home/eric backup.
What am I getting wrong here?
