[rdiff-backup-users] File missing from backup?

Hello list

I recently found a file that should have been included in my rdiff backup but was missing. The file is my /usr/local/nagios/libexec directory.

Here is the source directory:

address@hidden:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ls
check_apt-get check_ftp check_load check_nwstat check_simap check_users check_breeze check_game check_log check_oracle check_smtp check_wave check_by_ssh check_hpjd check_maillog_spam check_overcr check_snmp Nagios check_dhcp check_http check_mailq check_pgsql check_spop negate check_dig check_icmp check_mrtg check_ping check_ssh urlize check_disk check_ifoperstatus check_mrtgtraf check_pop check_swap utils.pm check_disk_smb check_ifstatus check_mysql check_postfix_mailq check_tcp utils.sh check_dns check_imap check_nagios check_procs check_time check_dummy check_ircd check_nntp check_radius check_tw_cli check_file_age check_jabber check_nntps check_real check_udp check_flexlm check_ldap check_nt check_rpc check_udp2 check_fping check_ldaps check_ntp check_sensors check_ups




Here is the target directory on the backup machine:

address@hidden:/backup/disk2/ns2/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ls
check-imap check_fping check_ldaps check_nt check_sensors check_ups check_breeze check_ftp check_load check_ntp check_simap check_users check_by_ssh check_game check_log check_nwstat check_smtp check_wave check_clamd check_hpjd check_mailq check_oracle check_snmp eventhandlers check_dhcp check_http check_mrtg check_overcr check_spop negate check_dig check_icmp check_mrtgtraf check_pgsql check_ssh urlize check_disk check_ifoperstatus check_mysql check_ping check_ssmtp utils.pm check_disk_smb check_ifstatus check_mysql_query check_pop check_swap utils.sh check_dns check_imap check_nagios check_procs check_tcp check_dummy check_ircd check_nagios_db check_radius check_time check_file_age check_jabber check_nntp check_real check_udp check_flexlm check_ldap check_nntps check_rpc check_udp2




If you look closely, you will notice that these two do not match. At first I thought I might be excluding the directory, but the rdiff- backup command looks like it should be including the directory:

/usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v0 --preserve-numerical-ids --print-statistics \
        --exclude "/dev/log" \
        --exclude "/home/.old" \
        --exclude "/home/joel/*" \
--exclude "/home/spamassassin/.spamassassin/auto- whitelist.lock*" \
        --exclude "/home/www/dragonwell.net/*" \
        --exclude "/home/www/danielle.tgz" \
        --exclude "/proc/*" \
        --exclude "/sys/*" \
        --exclude "/usr/local/pgsql/*.log*" \
        --exclude "/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/*" \
        --exclude "/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/*" \
        --exclude "/usr/local/src/*" \
        --exclude "/var/lib/mysql/*/*" \
        --exclude "/var/lib/postgres/data/base/*" \
        --exclude "/var/lib/postgres/data/pg_xlog/*" \
        --exclude "/var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/data/base/*" \
        --exclude "/var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/data/pg_xlog/*" \

        --exclude "/var/local/postgresql.dump.gz" \
        --exclude "/var/log/**.log" \
        --exclude "/var/run/postgresql/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/active/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/bounce/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/corrupt/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/defer/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/deferred/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/incoming/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/private/*" \
        --exclude "/var/spool/postfix/public/*" \
        ns2::/ /backup/disk2/ns2/





The error log for last night does not indicate any problems with this directory:

The backed-up directory hasn't been changed for many weeks. So why don't the original and the backup match? Both machines are running rdiff-backup 1.1.5.


Thanks for any info.
