I changed the code to this:

rdiff-backup   \
        --include '/home/bendoo/public_html/hp*' \
        --exclude '/home/bendoo/public_html/.' \
        address@hidden::/home/bendoo/public_html/. \
        /root/backup/bendoo/web

...but still I get:
"Fatal Error: Source /home/bendoo/public_html is not a directory"

Any further ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Bert
