I have a debian sarge box running backuppc 2.1.1 to back up a bunch of XP
Pro Desktops and a Win2k3 fileserver. It was working fine at one point. I
then had to rebuild the RAID5 that contains the /var/lib/backuppc
datastore. I'm using the same config files but it stopped honoring the
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} directive and I can't figure out what's going
on.
I do not have a $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} defined in either config.pl or the
host config files. Here's a copy of one of the host config files:
****BEGIN****
#
# SMB Backup (for Windows clients)
#
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = ['BACKUP$'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = '/WINDOWS/';
# if needed set a user name and password to access the remote shares
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'DOMAIN/AdminUser';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'password';
****END****
I have tried many variations of the BackupFilesExclude directive including:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/WINDOWS' ];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/WINDOWS/' ];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/WINDOWS/*' ];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = '/WINDOWS';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = '/WINDOWS/*';
etc..etc...
No matter what I do it still backs up the WINDOWS directory [or any other
directory I try to exclude].
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help,
DT
