Hello guys,
sorry for cross-posting, but imho it could be an error in my rsnapshot setup
as well as in my rsync setup. If there is a solution on one of these
mailing-lists i will
post it to the other one as well. ok?
here is my question: when running rsnapshot, my exclude filter is being
ignored, but i don't see why.
grep -v "#" /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf | grep .
gives
config_version 1.2
snapshot_root /media/extfp/Backup/rsnapshot-debx40/
no_create_root 1
cmd_cp /bin/cp
cmd_rm /bin/rm
cmd_rsync /usr/bin/rsync
cmd_ssh /usr/bin/ssh
cmd_logger /usr/bin/logger
retain daily 7
retain weekly 4
retain monthly 3
verbose 5
loglevel 5
logfile /var/log/rsnapshot.log
lockfile /var/run/rsnapshot.pid
rsync_long_args -ev --rsync-path=/home/backupuser/rsync-wrapper.sh
exclude "**no-backup**"
link_dest 0
rsync_numtries 1
backup backupuser@debx40:/home/lorenz/ home/lorenz/
backup backupuser@debx40:/etc/ etc/
backup backupuser@debx40:/root/ root/
rsnapshot -D -c /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf daily
works but e.g. /home/lorenz/testsource/no-backup/some-file
is also rsynced, despite it would match the exclude pattern in my
/etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf
running the except same rsync command as printed out by rsnapshot -tD -c
/etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf daily, namely
/usr/bin/rsync -av -ev --rsync-path=/home/backupuser/rsync-wrapper.sh
--exclude="**nobackup**" --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh backupuser@debx40:/home/lorenz/
/media/extfp/Backup/rsnapshot-debx40/daily.0/home/lorenz/
works and e.g. /home/lorenz/testsource/no-backup/some-file is really excluded.
after hours of fiddling around with filter rules i finally tried using an
exclude-from file and it worked perfectly. Could the failing of the attempt
with exclude filters in /etc/rsnapshot-debx40.conf be a bug? could this
misbehavior be related to the problem i posted some days ago (see
"[rsnapshot-discuss] wondering why backup wont start" or "/usr/bin/ssh not
found when rsync is executed within rsnapshot" on the rsync mailing-list)?
