Public bug reported:
The problem is pretty straightforward:
I have this line in rsnapshot.conf:
backup /etc/ localhost/ +rsync_long_args=--filter='exclude
system/*/logs/'
Running rsnapshot -v daily I get:
/usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded \
--timeout 300 --filter='exclude system/*/logs/' /etc \
/media/500G_BACKUP/gptmp/daily.0/localhost/
Unknown filter rule: `'exclude system/*/logs/''
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at exclude.c(904) [client=3.1.0]
Unknown filter rule: `'exclude system/*/logs/''
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at exclude.c(904) [client=3.1.0]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, it does not like the filter parameter. The strange thing is that if
I run manually the rsync line that rsnapshot is trying to run, it runs
ok:
# /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded
--timeout 300 --filter='exclude system/*/logs/' /etc
/media/500G_BACKUP/gptmp/daily.0/localhost/
#
I can only think that the shell breaks something with the quotes but I do not
know how to check it.
Note that this conf was working until I upgraded to 14.04 from 10.xx.
