[BackupPC-users] Exclude directory based on dot file?
2009-01-26 22:41:17
Hi. I hope this isn't a FAQ.... I'm using BackupPC to backup a linux
system to an external drive using rsync. It works nicely. I have
some large data files that don't need backing up, though. I was
wondering if it's possible to exclude (prune) directories by doing
something like putting a dot-file (".DONT_BACKUP") in them. That
would make it easy to flag directories on the fly as not needing to be
backed up. I understand I can edit the config file and place an entry
in BackupFilesExclude; this would just be a convenience. (It might be
more than a convenience for people who don't have root access.)
Thanks,
Reid
