I am quite net to NBU and I am having a problem using wildcards.

I have been experimenting by running back ups on the server's home
directory.

I have been running file lists like:

/home
/home*
/home/
/home/*
/home/*/*
....etc.......


I am not seeing consistent results.  Sometimes files are getting backed up;
others not.

I cannot find a "smoking gun" answer in the documentation.

If anyone could shed some light on how the wildcards are supposed to behave,
I would appreciate it.
