Backup Central

Hi,

Exclude file is not working at all here. I have enabled the exclude file
in conf

exclude_file /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/exclude_file.txt


I tried different exclude files but none work

- /usr/local/bin



$ rsnapshot -v sync && rsnapshot -v hourly
echo 10468 > /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/rsnapshot.pid
mkdir -m 0755 -p /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/.sync/
/usr/bin/rsync -a --rsync-path=rsync_wrapper.sh --delete --numeric-ids \
--relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh \
backupuser < at > 192.168.1.100:/usr/local \
/home/backupuser/rsnapshot/.sync/dirksdebian/
touch /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/.sync/
rm -f /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/rsnapshot.pid
echo 10477 > /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/rsnapshot.pid
/bin/cp -al /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/.sync \
/home/backupuser/rsnapshot/hourly.0
rm -f /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/rsnapshot.pid



Any idea whats going wrong?

Hallo, ~D,

Du meintest am 01.01.12:

Exclude file is not working at all here. I have enabled the exclude
file in conf

exclude_file /home/backupuser/rsnapshot/exclude_file.txt


On my systems "exclude_file" works.
Is there only a "tab" between "exclude_file" and "/home/..."?


/usr/bin/rsync -a --rsync-path=rsync_wrapper.sh --delete \
--numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh \
backupuser < at > 192.168.1.100:/usr/local \
/home/backupuser/rsnapshot/.sync/dirksdebian/

There should be an entry

--exclude_from=/home/backupuser/rsnapshot/exclude_file.txt

What tells

rsnapshot -t hourly
rsnapshot configtest

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

This may be an example of the following bug:

Try specifying the exclude_file on the individual backup point.

Sorry - that may describe another problem:

-------------------- cite on -------------

Other Information
-----------------
rsync behaves appropriately when it is handed both a --exclude and --exclude-from flag.

-------------------- cite off -------------

And that looks like an existing "--exclude_from" option in the "rsync"

I don't seem to be very similar indeed ...

Strange that it doesn't work

Changed that while doing some tests:

is this file now shown in the log file under "exclude_from"?

# cat /home/backupuser/exclude_file.txt
- /home/derick/documenten/financieel

Does the line really begin with "- "? That's wrong!

It's 'rsync style', but removing the '-' doesn't help unfortunately.

Exclude doesn't seem to work at all... Also one entry in the
rsnapshot.conf doesn't work

It looks it has something to do with the way I backup via a restricted
user and SSH. Locally exclude seems to work fine.

So probably an permission problem or something

I followed these howtos to prevent root from login:
