Directories Discarded When Using Incremental Backups

Environment

OnApp 5.x-6.x

Incremental Backups

Answer

The following directories are discarded by rsync when executing backups:

Linux

['/dev', '/proc', '/sys', '/selinux', '/tmp']

FreeBSD

['/dev', '/proc', '/sys', '/tmp', '/usr/src/', '/usr/obj', '/usr/ports']

Additional Information

Incremental backups use rsync to execute the backup task. We exclude some of the directories that do not require backup.
