yeah I agree - its confusing. include globbing filelist will solve the
guys problem tho no?

try this :
--
# file rdiff_backup_includes.txt
/home/username
/etc
--

and use it with :
rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist rdiff_backup_includes.txt
--exclude / / $TARGET::/backup

it works for me.

I suggest an include list like:
/home/
/etc/

- and then an rdiff-backup command that goes like:
rdiff-backup --include-filelist includelist --exclude / \
root < at > hostname::/ hostname

that does not work (for me). i only get /home and /etc
"directory" archived. not the contents :)

my include list looks:
--
/home/username/
/etc/
--

then also tried:
--
/home/username/**
/etc/**
--

and
--
/home/
/home/username/
/home/username/**
/etc/
/etc/**
--

all dont work. jsut the directory gets archived!

i used the same command line you specified i.e. specify
the include list and using "--exclude /"

any other way?
