# Config file listing for things to backup. It should be of the form # # machine dir[|file] [exclude pattern] # # It's good if machine is the fully qualified domain name (or whatever # the 'hostname' command returns on your system) and it must exist even # if you are only doing local backups. # # The "dir" is the directory or file to backup. # # The "exclude pattern" is the filename containing the pattern(s) you want # to exlude as per the -X option to 'tar'. See the tar man page for details. localhost /etc
