I have attached it. I am trying to backup to a remote server on my LAN. The size of the backup is much too large. I finally interrupted it. I assume that my exclusion of /media is being ignored, and my large data disks are being included. Here is the command I have used: # borg create --exclude-from /home/stan/backup-exclusions root at Barbara-office:/media/Backup-S/Borg-S::Thursday /* Is the format of my list wrong? Do I have it in the wrong place? I started borg on the server machine using "borg server" issued from that machine. In future, will I have to do this, or is the purpose of the "--remote-path PATH" option to make the borg on the server start processing the archive? If so, what should PATH be? The documentation says (default: "borg"). I don't understand how to interpret that so as to end up with the correct option. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
