RE: Single file backup using SAMBA
2003-05-28 10:54:10
Sorry, I try to do the backup with SAMBA, and when I use the "include"
option i get this message: [samba does not support include file], and I
don't want to use the exclude option because there are a lot of files in
this directory.

The obvious DLE way does not work:
your.host /path/to/the/file comp-user-tar
because dump and tar need a directory path; gnutar is given
the command "gnutar ... --directory /path/to/the/file ..."
so it needs a directory (or a symlink to a directory).
I never tried it, but recently you can also specify include lists when
using gnutar. Maybe something like this works:
your.host file-bup /path/to/parent/dir {
comp-user-tar
include "./file"
} 1
(Not tried myself, but curious if it works...)
