Currently, rdiff-backup's --include and --exclude options do not support
Windows paths with \ as the directory separator. Instead, it is necessary to
-use / which is the Unix directory separator. However, you will need to run
-rdiff-backup from the same directory as the source of your backup, eg:
+use / which is the Unix directory separator.
-cd c:\
-rdiff-backup.exe --include "c:/My Stuff" --exclude "c:/**" c:/ c:/Backup
+Additionally, you may need to run rdiff-backup from the same directory as the
+source of your backup, eg:
+
+> cd c:\
+> rdiff-backup.exe --include "c:/My Stuff" --exclude "c:/**" c:/ c:/Backup
will work to backup "c:\My Stuff" to "c:\Backup", but:
-cd "c:\My Stuff"
-rdiff-backup.exe --include "c:/My Stuff" --exclude "c:/**" c:/ c:/Backup
+> cd "c:\My Stuff"
+> rdiff-backup.exe --include "c:/My Stuff" --exclude "c:/**" c:/ c:/Backup
+
+will not work. UPDATE: With appropriate escaping, it looks like it is
+possible for this to work. Follow this example:
-will not work.
+> mkdir c:\foo
+> cd "c:\Documents and Settings"
+> rdiff-backup.exe --include c:\\/foo --exclude c:\\/** c:\/ c:\bar
+
+The \\ is necessary in the --include and --exclude options because those
+options permit regular-expressions, and \ is the escape character in
+regular-expressions, and thus needs to be escaped itself.
