Back In Time

back up of a excluded folder

Asked by Dick Thomas

hiya
 I have the normal user folder set to backup every day
/home/user/

but I dont' want it to back up Music every day but once a month (per folder scheduling?)
/home/user/music

how do I go about this?
as I've found if I exclude
/home/user/music

it doesn't seem to back up the Music monthly

and I'm now stuck for what to try next other then a rsync command in cron to do it

many thanks

dick

You can use "per folder scheduling" but if you include "/home/user" (every day) and "/home/user/music" (every month), your music is already included in /home/user".
You can try to exclude the pattern "*/music/*". I hope it will work.
