2 ## This is an example rdiff-backup configuration file.
3 ## The defaults are useful in most cases, just make sure
4 ## to configure the destination host and user.
7 ## passed directly to rdiff-backup
10 ## default is 0, but set to 19 if you want to lower the priority.
13 ## default is yes. set to no to skip the test if the remote host is alive

36 # A few notes about includes and excludes:
37 # - include, exclude and vsinclude statements support EITHER globbing with '*'
38 # OR symlinks in the path; usage of both in the same statement is *not*
39 # supported and will lead to weird behaviour.
40 # - All the excludes come after all the includes. The order is not otherwise
43 # files to include in the backup
44 include = /var/spool/cron/crontabs
45 include = /var/backups

54 # If vservers = yes in /etc/backupninja.conf then the following variables can
56 # vsnames = all | <vserver1> <vserver2> ... (default = all)
60 # Any path specified in vsinclude is added to the include list for each vserver
61 # listed in vsnames (or all if vsnames = all, which is the default).
63 # For example, vsinclude = /home will backup the /home directory in every
64 # vserver listed in vsnames. If you have 'vsnames = foo bar baz', this
65 # vsinclude will add to the include list /vservers/foo/home, /vservers/bar/home
66 # and /vservers/baz/home.
67 # Vservers paths are derived from $VROOTDIR.
69 # files to exclude from the backup
