I see how you use excludes to exclude back-ups of files with specific
extensions, but then how do I now exclude specific paths per host?
I am planning to back-up about 15 Linux webservers with different roles. Some
host specific archives that take up much space, but do not require back-ups.
e.g. 1 server hosts 50GB of downloads in /pub. Another server hosts 10GB of
internal downloads (installers, windows service packs) in
/sites/site/httpdocs/downloads.
Does your set-up back up /proc as well? This seems to make doing a bare metal
recovery harder, or should I not strive for such a solution?
