[lbackup-discussion] very basic question

[danilo Lujambio]

Hi,

thanks for your answer , from my point of view the way to make more
"coherent" the configuration policy is to make a file where you can put
the list of the directories that you want to backup. In the same way of
the excluded file

rgds

I have been thinking about various ways of supporting this kind of option. Either with a separate file for the directories you want to backup or by have a listing multiple sources within in the configuration file. I have yet to come up with a good way to implement this functionally. Any suggestions in this regard would be welcomed.

This approach will allow you to have different schedules, pre and post action scripts as well as multiple reports for each source directory on the system. You may group related configuration directories into a directory (eg for a single system) for easier management.
