[lbackup-discussion] very basic question

[henri]

The example quoted below was recently posted to the rsync mailing list regarding backing up multiple directories.

> $ cat >dirs.txt <<EOF
> sourcedir/GroupA
> sourcedir/GroupC
> EOF
> 
> $ rsync -r --include-from=filt.txt --prune-empty-dirs `cat dirs.txt` destdir

Tthis is one way which has the potential allow multiple directories being set as a from source within a configuration file. If this kind of approach makes sense to you then I will carry out some research as to the feasibility of this approach.

This may not be a possibility as the reply this post mentions issues with escaping spaces.
