Why can't you use just fs_includes and excludes above?

otherwise I wont be able to store it in /var/backups/maas_config where I'm mounting glusterfs volume

And why do you want to store it in /var/backups/maas_config when backupninja takes care about backing up to proper location?

if I use fs_include/exclude configs will be sent only to remote location, but idea was also to store them on glusterfs volume. in other words having local backup that is quickly accessible but not stored on the same node that is being backed up and remote copy

So use-case is to backup to multiple locations? Then you should add support into backupninja for this use-case, this behavior may not be desired for all deployments as MaaS data can be probably pretty heavy (all the images, etc.) and /var/backups is usually root volume.
Purpose of /var/backups is to have place where to collect some data before sending them to backup location (eg. data that are continuously changing, et mysql database that you need to dump first). But it's not meant to be persistent or somehow reliable backup location.

as you can see from the actual command I'm excluding imaged from backup(as they can be downloaded at any time) and should be really light. Also psql or mysql backups done the samr way they stored in /var/backups and the can be sync somewhere else |

But you still need to use fs_includes to make backup into remote location which is primary use-case, eg. freeipa is the same use-case: But FreeIPA requires dump of database, etc. that's only reason why /var/lib/ipa/backup is used to make local backup before backing up remotely. I don't think it's required in this case as fs_includes and excludes should be enough. |
