I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have tried millions of combinations of settings.
Is it possible to somehow combine --files-from and --filter into one file, so that I can use one here-document?
Using the + directive in --filter seems to always give me slightly different results.
What I do now is without --files-from, but it means the directory tree is not recreated on the backup server. It just results in /backup/etc /backup/bin and /backup/sbin, which is not what I need.
rsync
-a -e ssh --compress --numeric-ids --modify-window=1--timeout=600 --fuzzy
-v --link-dest="/backup/client1/linux/2006-08-24 11.31.40" --filter='. -'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:'
/etc
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin
'
'/backup/client1/linux/2006-08-24 18.29.05' << EOF
. /etc/backup.d/filters/default
. /etc/backup.d/filters/default.linux
- mrtg
- adjtime
- random_seed
EOF
What I want is the effect that --files-from gives in that I can simply copy client1:/ to /backup/ and then only include /etc /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. Having to use files-from and filter seperately would force me to use a temporary file instead of neatly packed into one command line with a here-document.
Sounds like an easy thing to do with a + filter, but I haven't figured it out yet.
Thanks
