[BackupPC-users] Backup a single file
Hello,
I would like to backup a single file from a huge directory.
Unfortunately it's neither possible to store the file in a subdirectory,
nor to backup the whole directory. The file in question is a self-
compiled library which needs to be stored in /usr/lib.
Currently I hardlink the library file to a subdir in /root, which is
backupped anyway. But in order to make system restore easier in case of
a crash, I'd like to backup all non-package data at the exact same place
as on the system.
Is it possible to backup a single file at all? If i give the file as
argument to $Conf{RsyncShareName}, backuppc exits with an error.
I found nothing regarding this question in either backuppc documentation
or list archives.
greetings,
jonas

You'll still need to specify the share name as the directory but then
also specify the specific file to backup using the BackupFilesOnly
configuration setting[1].

That should work - or you could build a tree of hard links that mirror the
directory locations of the files you want to back up in each filesystem.

Great, indeed that works. Thanks a lot for the hint.
