Yohoo!

I just encountered an issue with the BackupPC itself.

I'm backing up loads of Linux servers with rsync. So in the home
directory of the backuppc user there is obviously a .ssh directory which
contains the ssh-keys and the host keys (known_hosts).

For whatever reason the known_hosts got corrupted and backuppc was not
able to backup my Linux servers any more. I'm not complaining about
this, it makes sense.
I had to logon as backuppc and manually connect to all servers so the
host keys are stored again in the new know_hosts file, because
/var/lib/BackupPC is excluded from backup.

What I'm wondering is which include/exclude rules I should apply so the
user data itself is backed up, but not the backup repository.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks!

Christian
