Hi everyone,

Are any of you using Amazon S3 for backups?  Specifically, I have questions
about using s3cmd.  It's working for backups but for some reason, s3cmd is
ignoring my --exclude file and I'm trying to figure out why.

The command line I'm using is:

s3cmd sync -F --exclude-from=/opt/mbse/bin/s3backup.exclude 
  /opt/mbse s3://<bucketname>

So here's s3backup.exclude:

/opt/mbse/Desktop
/opt/mbse/Documents
/opt/mbse/Downloads
/opt/mbse/Pictures
/opt/mbse/Public
/opt/mbse/Templates
/opt/mbse/Videos
/opt/mbse/.*
/opt/mbse/temp
/opt/mbse/tmp

(Yes, I do occasionally use Xfce under my BBS admin account for various
things.)

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.  I've poured over the docs and I'm
missing something but I don't know what.

Thanks,
Sean
