Hullo there,
I'm trying to find out why dirvish is running the rsync call twice in one take?
Server is running debian linux. The file /etc/dirvish/dirvish-cronjob
is called from cron.d, and dirvish-cronjob uses master.conf.
All are pretty standard, and haven't changed.

Hi,
I want to exclude all directories and subdirectories that are called /dev/
My backup contains a lot of development work on other hardware, and
I'm finding the backup is reporting failed due to trying to back up
non-regular files, e.g.
IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion
skipping n

Hullo there,
I've got a vault that has an average image size of 30G. The entire
vault, consisting of 24 images, however, has a size of 70G.
There have not really been many changes in this image since the first
one in the vault, and I'm suprised the size of the whole vault is not
much closer to

Hullo,
I'm having problems with making a backup of an lvm partition on a xen server.
I have a working script that creates an lvm snapshot of the partition
and mounts it. In the dirvish cronjob script I have placed the script
to run before dirvish expire and dirvish runall is called, then the

Hi,
Has anybody got an exclude list I can have a look at that allows
cherry-picking files and folders with the use of + and -?

Hello,
Is it possible to change the options passed to rysnc when dirvish
runs? I want to get rid of the -x as it seems to be preventing
dirvish from backing up /dev/mapper/home directory.

Hello,
Does anyone know where dirvish is told to find the --link-dest image
at runtime? I've got several vaults which all use the image from the
previous day, but then one awkward one, which seems to be selected an
image from 2 weeks previously. All share the same master config, and
I can't see
