Back Up Specific Directories
Backing up specific directories is very similar to backing up a whole server, except you first need to create a simple file list to include the desired directories and exclude everything else.
Here's an example file include list, which you should put in /etc/opsmate/backups/file-list
:
+ /path/to/directory1
+ /path/to/directory2
- *
List as many directories as you'd like to include in your backup. Be sure to add a catch-all
- *
rule at the end of the file, or Opsmate will back up your whole filesystem.
Once you've created your file list, follow the instructions to back up a whole server.
