I just downloaded rdiff-backup 0.6.0 and I am trying to figure out how I 
can get it to do what I want.

I want to back up selected parts of the file system to a backup 
partition, which will then contain the same tree structure as the source 
tree. For example,

$ rdiff-backup /home/sue /home/john /var/spool/mail /etc \
backupserver:/backup

should create this tree on backupserver:

/
+-backup
   +-home
   | +-john
   | +-sue
   +-etc
   +-var
   | +-spool
   |   +-mail
   +-rdiff-backup-data

How do I do this?

Thanks in advance!
