Archives support:

• Files
• Directories

Examples

Below are examples you can copy/paste in to your "Backup" configuration file. These blocks should be placed between Backup::Model.new(:my_backup, 'My Backup') do and end.

Files and Folders

archive :my_archive do |archive|
  archive.add '/path/to/a/file.rb'
  archive.add '/path/to/a/directory/'
  archive.exclude '/path/to/a/directory/exclude.rb'
  archive.exclude '/path/to/a/directory/exclude-this/'
end

What this does is it creates a single .tar file, called my_archive.tar, that contains the file.rb and everything inside /path/to/a/directory/ (including all sub-directories, except for the exclude-this directory and the exclude.rb Ruby file) and adds it to the backup file. You can archive as many files and folders as you like per archive block. You can have as many archive blocks as you want as well.
