Hi everyone,
I know that the following question is rather a linux-noob-one, but I just cant figure it out.
In fact I´m using vzdump to backup running VEs, which works without any problems. However I´m trying to exclude certain paths including their subdirectories. How can I exclude everything within /var/spool/clientmqueue?
I tried /var/spool/clientmqueue/.+ but that doesnt work.
Any help would be appreciated. I already tried myself on certain pages dealing with regex but still fail.
Regards
Norman

Kir,
It is a new feature.
usage: /usr/bin/vzdump OPTIONS [--all | VPSID]
--exclude VPSID exclude VPSID (assumes --all)
--exclude-path REGEX exclude certain files/directories
--compress compress dump file (gzip)
--dumpdir DIR store resulting files in DIR
--xdelta create differential backup using xdelta
--mailto EMAIL send notification mail to EMAIL.
--stop stop/start VPS if running
--suspend suspend/resume VPS when running
--snapshot use LVM snapshot when running
--restore FILENAME restore FILENAME

Sorry...Í´m just too dump.
The /var/spool/mqueue/.+ syntax worked. I was just confused, because vzdump was complaining about vanishing files within the folder (however, they were excluded)....everything´s fine now.

Norman
