Nelson Serafica Guest	Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:15 am    Post subject: backup single file rdiff-backup was doing its job in backing up folders going to your backup server. My question is can rdff-backup back a single file? I have a file rc.firewall located at /etc/rc.d. I want to backup the file rc.firewall and exclude other files such as rc.1, etc. rdiff-backup --print-statistics --include rc.firewall --exclude '**' backup < at > 10.4.0.17::/etc/rc.d/ /backup/servers/ns1 Fatal Error: Fatal Error: The file specification 'rc.firewall' cannot match any files in the base directory '/etc/rc.d' Useful file specifications begin with the base directory or some pattern (such as '**') which matches the base directory. Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system Any advise? _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users < at > nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki

Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system Any advise? your base is /etc/rc.d, so your include needs to be /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall or **rc.firewall or **/rc.firewall I am newbie to rdiff backup, but this is my understanding Quote: _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users < at > nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users < at > nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
