tar globbing is weird. Also, the way that --include works is weird. > a test > a test/dir2 > a test/file1 > a test/file2 > a test/foo1 > a test/foo2 > > $ tarsnap -cv --dry-run --include='*foo*' test > [no files added to archive] The --include option has to match at every point in the directory traversal; "test" does not match the pattern "*foo*", so it gets skipped. If you change "test" to "test/*", then it will work as expected. This is a weird feature which tarsnap inherited from bsdtar and I'm not sure when it's ever useful... -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
