Hello,

As for me I just use the following config.pl for my localhost using rsync :
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/etc', '/boot', '/var', '/home'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/var/cache', '/var/temp'];

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';
$Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'bzip2';
[...]

I don't remember if you must exclude the complete path or can use wildards.

Hope that helps

I just started with BackupPC.  I am using rsync to back up my Linux machines, and it is working.  However, I want to exclude some large, nonessential files and directories from the backup.  I put a $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} line in the config file for the Linux client in question, but it does not seem to be having any effect (BackupPC continues to back up the "Excluded" directories).  The examples of that command in the docs come up in the context of tar backups, which I am not doing.  Are you supposed to use some other config option in order to exclude files and directories with rsync?
