Re: Question regarding --go-into with --prune

Hello,

sorry for the late response.
Yes, the parameter '... --prune "movie/[B-Zb-z]*"' did the trick. Much
thanks, now it works as expected.

Another question came to my mind:
Like i said i split the full backup into separate archives (movies with a
(movie/A*), then movies with b (movie/B*) and so on). During full backup I
created the catalogue on the fly to be able to make
differential/incremental backups later.
Because I split the full backups into multiple, for e.g. 26 "single full"
backups, I also have to do 26 differential/incremental backups (movie/A*,
movie/B* etc).
The changes under folder "movie" after all full backups are not that big,
so it would be nice if I can do a single differential/incremental backup
from 'movie/*' and not for every single letter.
I wonder if i can merge the isolated catalogues from each single full
backup so that the next differential/incremental backup will save all
changes under 'movie/*'. So my question: Can I only merge all created dar
catalogues to get a big catalogue ? (Since i am backing up to tape i
cant load all real data full backups to merge them).

Hope you understand what i mean.
Much thanks
