Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Excluding directories for restore

[Dominic Raferd]

Hi Dominik

Although it is not an answer to your present predicament, I would say 
that rdiff-backup is not advisable over an unstable connection. A better 
strategy is to run rdiff-backup locally (preferably to a different 
machine) and then use rsync to mirror the rdiff-backup repository to an 
offsite machine using rsync with the --link-dest option. I recently 
posted on this mailing list an example of how to do this. Problems with 
the offsite backup process are minimised and you have a primary and 
secondary backup.
