Hi,

I've been looking for a way to limit the size of each individual file
backed up by BackupPC. I'd like to skip big files (like video files,
software packages, etc) because these normally aren't important. This
is a feature I know is already present in rsync and other backup
systems like SimpleBackup, however I couldn't find any option for this
in BackupPC.

I tried adding --max-size=128M to RsyncArgs but it doesn't seem to
have any effect - big files are still backed up by BackupPC!

Any help?


Best regards,
Johannes
