Yep, thought about that too, but I don't like this solution too much because:

- it forces me to run rdiff-backup separately for each directory I
want to backup (say I want to backup /etc, /var, and /home, I have to
run three times rdiff-backup)
- It will create an rdiff-backup-data directory in each of these
directories, so if I want to restore one of them, I always have to
keep in mind to remove the rdiff-backup-data directory after restoring
it by copying the files.

I wonder how backupninja handles this, as it exactly backups different
directories with full path and only one rdiff-backup-data directory
IIRC.
