Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Using wildcard for directories to include?

[Bert Hiddink]

Hello Paul!

Thanks for your reply.

I followed your suggestion, in fact, I had done something similar before
but got an error and thought this was due to a wrong syntax.

The error I get with your code is this:
"Fatal Error: Source /home/bendoo/public_html is not a directory"

Can rdiff-backup not follow symbolic links?

Thanks again for your help!

Best regards,

bert
