Include Root Partition
Asked by

on 2012-04-30
I have tried inputting "/" as an included directory (and excluding /proc/, /dev/, etc) but SBackup doesn't include any files, it returns "0 files". However, if I have "/home/" as included it returns the correct number of files.
How can I just have "/" as an include to backup my entire system?

Seriously no-one wants to backup their root directory and exclude from there?

For information to anyone else who tries to do this (and why no-one here couldn't help I don't know) you need to put "//" and not "/" to include the root directory.

Thanks, I was wondering the same thing. How non-intuitive!
