The new `backup` options `--files-from-verbatim` and `--files-from-raw` read a
|
|
|
|
|
list of files to back up from a file. Unlike the existing `--files-from`
|
|
|
|
|
option, these options do not interpret the listed filenames as glob patterns;
|
|
|
|
|
instead, whitespace in filenames is preserved as-is and no pattern expansion is
|
|
|
|
|
done. Please see the documentation for specifics.

These new options are highly recommended over `--files-from`, when using a
|
|
|
|
|
script to generate the list of files to back up.
