Topic: 5.6 problems with custom backup

[kherlihy]

Has anyone else tried custom backups with 5.6, and if so, successfully?

I've just tried setting it up using the tar --exclude-from parameter in /etc/e-smith/web/functions/backup, and making an exclusion list, but it appears to be ignored (contents of excluded ibays are being included).

I know I've set this up before with previous versions, so I'm trying to figure out if either something significant has changed in the new version, or if I've made a simple error this time.

Any thoughts?
