including files in a symlink directory when backing up with duplicity
- by Rob
I'm backing up using Duplicity, great tool.
I'm unable to include files in the backup that are within a directory that is a symlink.
Using the following:
duplicity <dup args> --include /var/www/**/current --exclude '**'
duplicity will only backup the symlink
I've tried:
duplicity <dup args> --include /var/www/**/current/* --exclude '**'
# and
duplicity <dup args> --include /var/www/**/current/** --exclude '**'
Not even then symlink is backed up.
the "current" directory links to directory like:
/var/www/host.com/de9f2c7fd25e1b3afad3e85a0bd17d9b100db4b3
The files contains a few static html & css files.
I want those files to be backed up, regardless of which sha'd directory "current" points to.
Any help appreciated.
