Question
Which are the excluded directories when using incremental backups?
Environment
Release OnApp 5.x-6.x
Incremental Backups
Answer
The following are the directories discarded by rsync when executing backups:
Linux
['/dev', '/proc', '/sys', '/selinux', '/tmp']
FreeBSD
['/dev', '/proc', '/sys', '/tmp', '/usr/src/', '/usr/obj', '/usr/ports']
Additional Info
Incremental Backups use rsync to execute the backup task. We exclude some of the directories that do not require backup.
