Well, after finally finding the time to look at this in more detail, I would
say, yes, the above setup is going to backup everything in /home -- assuming
that all the subdirectories are on the same filesystem. If I am not
mistaken, the manual shows very clearly why this will not work, and I'll give
you a hint here: in the absence of any exclude Option, *everything* in the
File section is included. The manual can explain this and tell you how to
fix it. Off the top of my head (don't blame me if I am wrong), I think
adding something like:
Options {
exclude = yes
wilddir = "*"
}
Just before the File statement, or even after it, might resolve the problem.
The manual may have a better way of resolving this though ...
