    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
