avtar documentation

I can't figure out how to backup all files from a folder and exclude all subfolders (this folder contain ~ 2 million files)

I could try to create a file containing a list of subfolders and use option :

--exclude-from=FILE, -X, --exclude_from Exclude patterns listed in FILE

but is there in avtar command something like "exclude subfolders" ?

Thank you for your answer, I can see for restore I have the option "--no-recursion" but for backup I don't have a similar option.

Is there a method to restore using avtar command a specified backup ?

For example using "avtar --backups ..." I can see a list of backups with specified Seq number.

Date      Time    Seq       Label           Size     Plugin    Working directory         Targets
---------- -------- ----- ----------------- ---------- -------- --------------------- -------------------

2011-04-12 12:35:56    17 Test                   4K Linux    /home/test             /home/test

Can I restore using avtar the backup with "Seq 17" ? (without using before or after option, just the sequence number)

Thank you!
