Wes,

Seems to be the case. Wasn't before.

/etc/dirvish/master.conf:

bank:
 	/mnt/backup

image-default: %Y%m%d-%H%M
log:	bzip2
index:	bzip2
xdev:	1

exclude:
 	/proc
 	/etc/mtab
 	.kde/share/cache/*
 	.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache/*
 	/usr/src/**/*.o
 	*~
 	*.bak
 	lost+found/

post-server: /etc/dirvish/dirvish_mail

# if there is a command, execute it and redirect stderr to 'log', otherwise do an echo for dirvish_mail
pre-client:  echo "PRE_CLIENT_RET_OK - No pre-client installed"
post-client: echo "POST_CLIENT_RET_OK - No post-client installed"

Runall:
 	salmo-root		22:00
 	salmo-home		22:00
 	salmo-opt		22:00
 	salmo-data		22:00

expire-default: never

# keep the sunday backups for 6 months, the dailies for 1 month.
expire-rule:
#	MIN	HR	DOM	MON	DOW	STRFTIME_FMT
 	*	*	*	*	1-6	+1 month
 	*	*	*	*	7	+6 months

/mnt/backup/salmo-data/dirvish/default.conf:

client: root at salmo.appl-ecosys.com
tree: /data
xdev: 0
index: gzip

Also interesting is that salmo-data/ contains directories from when I tried
initializing it. For example, today's:

[root at salmo /mnt/backup/salmo-data]# ls 20191023-1140/
exclude  log  summary  tree/

but the tree directory is empty.

Regards,

Rich
