Package : rsnapshot
Date : March 1, 2010
Affected: 2009.1, 2010.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Rsnapshot will automatically add --exclude=xxxx to the rsync
options for backups of the filesystem on which the snapshot-root
is located. This will be added to the rsync command-line AFTER the
rsync_short_args and rsync_long_args, but BEFORE any backup-specific
options. This means that the --exclude=xxxx will override whatever
backup-specific excludes are defined. This can be a problem if the
name of your snapshot-root is something which is common in many file
names. This version resolves this problems.
