1 # This file contains globbing patterns that will be excluded from the nightly,
2 # automated backups. Patterns should be relative to $HOME listed one per line.
4 # These patterns can contain *, **, ?, and [...] (character ranges). As in
5 # a normal shell, * can be expanded to any string of characters not containing
6 # "/", ? expands to any character except "/", and [...] expands to a single
7 # character of those characters specified (ranges are acceptable). The new
8 # special pattern, **, expands to any string of characters whether or not it
9 # contains "/". Furthermore, if the pattern starts with "ignorecase:" (case
10 # insensitive), then this prefix will be removed and any character in the string
11 # can be replaced with an upper- or lowercase version of itself.
13 # The exclude pattern option matches a file if:
15 # 1. pattern can be expanded into the file's filename, or
16 # 2. the file is inside a directory matched by the option.
22 # matches e.g. /usr/local, /usr/local/lib, and /usr/local/lib/netscape.
24 # See also the FILE SELECTION section in `man 1 duplicity` for patterns that
25 # can be used in a file pointed to by the argument of the
26 # --exclude-filelist flag.
28 # Exclude application caches.
31 # Exclude potentially large error logs.
