Re: [Bobs-devel] rsync and nfs

[Rene R. <re...@gr...>]

Cool Joe

I've completely forgotten to mention the excludes and how it works

In the inc/excludes/ dir there is a file called "default.excludelist".
This file contains the names of the files and dirs excluded from rsync
backup. Take a look a the rsync documentation to see the precise format
of this file.

BOBS in its current state checks for a file called
<servername>.<sharename> in that dir. If it is not found it will use the
"default.excludelist" file.
To backup ALL files with no exclusions you should create an empty file
called <servername>.<sharename>.
Consider that users will restore files and then BOBS will make backup of
those files again. Currently a dir called "restore_files" is created on
the users share, and restored files are placed in it.
Default settings excludes that dir from the backup process.


I'll add this and your documentation to the cvs.
