Hi, I'm posting a lot these days to the list. It is just that I am finetuning my backup server, and want to do it in a nice way.
I was wondering about the following. In my general conf.pl file I have stated that no hidden files should be backuped, hence I have $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' => {'.*','*/.*']} But in version 3.0.0beta3, the user is able to change those variables to his likeing, unless the admin changes this. So I turn this off and all is safe. But assume now that user A wants to add the directory .thunderbird to his backup. He should be able to include this in some way. Any idea how this could be done. I thought that next to $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} there also excists an $Conf{BackupFilesInclude} which does the oposite, and that would make it possible if I let users edit this variable. Unfortunately this does not excist. something else I noticed that after switching from version 2.1.0 to 3.0.0, is that the exludefiles are not appended anymore to the rsync command. in /var/log/messages/ I only get the rudimentary command without the include and exclude's while this was the case in the previous version.
