Re: [Duplicity-talk] Exclude directories

[Kenneth Loafman]

For now, there is no default exclude list.  You'll need to exclude /root/.cache, /proc, and /dev if you want to backup from '/'.

Note, backing up from '/' is not recommended since it backs up the system files that can be obtained from an install DVD.

Do I have to explude my local duplicity cache directory from the backup
or is duplicity smart enough to not backup its own backup management
data? My backup source is an LVM snapshot of / and the cache is in
/root/.cache/duplicity.

I'm wondering that my backup size is constantly increasing but I'm not
expecting this. I've found loads of old sigtar files in that cache
directory. If they were added to each full backup, I'd know where the
data volume came from.
