Description of problem: Incremental backup script in effect is performing full backup.

One error similar to the following:

cp: cannot stat ‘*.snar’: No such file or directory

It seems that the below files are used to provide a diff. As they weren't being read, customer was getting a full backup instead of an incremental backup.

.config.snar
.mongo.snar
.postgres.snar
.pulp.snar

Adding the '.' to the command on line 131 fixed the problem:

`cp #{@options[:incremental]}/.*.snar .` if @options[:incremental]

Below is the difference between two files.

=================================================================

1. diff u katello-backup katello-backup.new
   -- katello-backup 2017-02-03 10:01:31.000000000 -0500
   +++ katello-backup.new 2017-04-25 09:56:54.162505948 -0400
   @ -128,7 +128,7 @
   `tar --selinux --create --gzip --file=config_files.tar.gz --listed-incremental=.config.snar #{CONFIGS.join(' ')}`
   puts "Done."

- `cp #{@options[:incremental]}/*.snar .` if @options[:incremental]
+ `cp #{@options[:incremental]}/.*.snar .` if @options[:incremental] =================================================================

if @options[:online]
     backup_db_online
