Hi all In invoking the command: $ /usr/bin/tarsnap -c --configfile ~/.tarsnaprc -f backup-`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S` --totals --dry-run /home/albert
... I am greeted with: tarsnap: Warning: Archive contains no files The /home/albert directory is certainly not empty. The ~/.tarsnaprc contains a number of include directories like: include /home/albert/lab/manuscripts include /home/albert/lab/grants Do I need perhaps to include a * in the include declarations, like: include /home/albert/lab/manuscripts/* include /home/albert/lab/grants/* Thank you, Albert
