Hello,
I get some troubles when rsyncing my FreeBSD 6.2 server from my iMac
Leopard desktop.
Below what I configured in rsyncd.conf ..
[all]
path = /
uid = root
gid = wheel
read only = true
include from = /home/rsync/etc/includes/rootfs
/home/rsync/etc/includes/rootfs
+ /etc
+ /etc/make.conf
+ /boot
+ /boot/*
- *
This is the only way I found to only backup files directories I would like
having on my backup system. This is working but I get a problem with it.
Is this really the way to do it ?? Lines specified above are just a
example. Let's immagine I would like to backup complete /usr/local/
directory. In such a way I should add two entries for each subdirectory ..
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin/*
You can really immagine my rootfs file contains thousands of lines .. this
is why I post this message because I can immagine there is an easy way to
do it but I haven't found it rigth now.
Thanks to help me.
