Let's say you want to mirror to a partition for easy booting. You don't want to overwrite /lost+found, and you don't want to delete it.

What you want is "--ignore '/lost+found'".

Thanks.

Are you sure --ignore '/lost+found' doesn't work? I agree the first time it will delete the lost+found directory, but after that I don't think it should notice it there.

Here's a situation in which an --ignore option would make sense: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2008-07/msg00007.html
