Some more information about backup include and exclude list

[elektronaut]

Hi,

I'm not sure if I setup my backup configuration correctly. Researching a bit about duplicity, I stumbled on this post http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2008-06/msg00004.html. So it seems, if I want to back up '/home/me' but want to exclude '/home/me/music', I have to have an exclude '/home/me/music' before the include of '/home/me' in the backup configuration interface list. What about '/' ? The information I found indicate that '/' is backed up by default? So do I have to exclude it? The post I linked advises on excluding '**' at the end of the list. How do I do that in the configuration interface?

Hi there:

Have you had a look to http://doc.zentyal.org/en/backup.html#configuration-of-the-directories-and-files-that-are-saved ?

The documentation you referenced does not address my questions. I exclude '/' at the end of my list, seems to work alright. Still no idea about the relevance of '**', probably not needed?
