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
