Hello, i have a backup script where i first used "--exclude-from" only. users of my script can set exclude statements in backup client specific property files.
later on, i needed to extend the script because of special requirement , so i needed to introduce usage of "--filter='merge $filterfile'" i want to harmonize things and simplify the script, as i needed to duplicate statements because of that and it looks ugly and is difficult to maintain. can "--filter" statements completely replace "--exclude" statements , i.e. is "--filter" simply to be considered as an "--exclude on steriods" , or are there chances that i need "--exclude" though ? (for excample because rule evaluation may differ ?) regards roland -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
