Exclude and include list from file

General Topics

Hello all,

I’d like to have some sugestions about excluding and including files from cli command.

My example is:

From restic:

restic backup \
--exclude /home/USER/.cache \
--files-from /home/USER/etc/repo.list

Same from duplicity:

duplicity \
--exclude /home/USER/.cache \
--include-filelist /home/USER/etc/repo.list \
--exclude '**'

Where repo.list is:

/boot/loader.conf.local
/etc
/home
/usr/local/etc

Could I have some hints?

Thanks
