--add-ignore inherit + host policies

General Topics

I’m using kopia to backup several hosts to the same repo. Every server has kopia installed connected to the same repo(BackBlaze B2).

I’ve set global add-ignore policies so some folders do not get uploaded, like /dev, /proc, /sys, and so on.

The problem is, if I add --add-ignore to a host, like kopia policy set @somehost /srv/some/dir, all global add-ignore is lost for this host, as it is not inherited anymore.

Is possible to set a host ignore list but keep global one? Otherwise, I have to set those, “basic” policies in all hosts.

Thanks.

This i dang old, but i would like this too! Over 200 systems which has special needs in the ignores and they all need the basics host based instead setting the basics global and additional on host-basis :frowning:

With 200 clients you are probably using some sort of automation. Maybe you can add a .kopiaignore template to do this for you?
