I’m having issues making dietpi-backup to exclude directories from my user data folder.
This is my /DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-backup_exclude file
/mnt/petri
/mnt/data/dietpi-backup
/mnt/data/dietpi_userdata/downloads
/mnt/dietpi_userdata/dietpi-backup
/mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads
When running dietpi-backup I can see it adds my directories to the ‘exclude list’ at /tmp/.dietpi-backup_inc_exc_list
/mnt/data/dietpi_userdata is my custom user data location.
Any idea how can I debug and find the problem?
Thanks,
Hi,
You need to do it this way, using additional / at the end, else rsync treats it as a file I believe:
/mnt/petri/
/mnt/data/dietpi-backup/
/mnt/data/dietpi_userdata/downloads/
/mnt/dietpi_userdata/dietpi-backup/
/mnt/dietpi_userdata/downloads/

Thanks for the help. I tried this but didn’t work.
After looking at the dietpi-backup code it looks I can’t exclude directories when it’s doing a user data backup, it only works for a system backup
#rsync options
RSYNC_RUN_OPTIONS_SYSTEM_BACKUP="-aH --delete --include-from=$FP_FILTER_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_SYSTEM_BACKUP"
RSYNC_RUN_OPTIONS_USERDATA_BACKUP="-aH --delete"
RSYNC_LOGGING_OPTIONS="-v --log-file=$LOGFILE"
Ah, Thanks.
We’ll get this resolved for v6.10, most likley have 2 new files, one for userdata and one for system. Both having include/exclude in the same file using - and +.
