Hi!
I'v been trying to get this working for half a day, but whatever I try,
I get some error message.
I want to back up some subdirectories from client machine directory
/home/user to server. I need to do it from server and for that purpose I
created separate backupuser on client machine and gave it rights to the
/home/user subdirectories I want to back up.
rdiff-backup version is 1.2.0, client is Ubuntu 8.04 and server is
CentOS 5.2, on both machines I compiled rdiff-backup by myself.
# rdiff-backup -v5 --exclude /home/user --include /home/user/Documents
--include /home/user/.mozilla-thunderbird address@hidden::/home/user
/some/directory/on/server
And then I get following error:
Fatal Error: Last selection expression:
Command-line include glob: /home/user/.mozilla-thunderbird
only specifies that files be included. Because the default is to
include all files, the expression is redundant. Exiting because this
probably isn't what you meant.
Sending back exception 1 of type <type 'exceptions.SystemExit'>:

What is it I'm doing wrong?
