Oops.

It finally did it right, using this command. Thanks for the help.

sudo rdiff-backup --api-version 201 backup  --exclude 
'/home/eric/VirtualBox?VMs' --include /home/eric --include /var/www 
--include /var/lib/mysql --include /usr/share/fonts --exclude '**' / 
'/run/media/eric/backup 2025-02/XPS-2025-02'
