Expansion with ~ doesn't work in Obnam config files
Expansion with ~ doesn't work in config files. On the Backups with Obnam page, you can read:
As an example, your first backup might have the following configuration:
obnam backup -r /media/backups/tomjon-repo ~ \ --exclude ~/Downloads
...but that doesn't work in a config file:
exclude = ~/Downloads
Not working! Reason I guess: There is no shell to expand the ~ character. So you'll have to write:
exclude = /full/path/to/Downloads
