I am using rsync to backup a server which has a chroot-ed BIND
environment. This means that it has a copy of the /proc filesystem under
/var/named/chroot, which of course includes all sorts of stuff I don't
want to backup, including the 256TB "kcore" file.
I tried to exclude these using BackupFilesExclude, but it's still trying
to back them up. Does rsync honor the BackupFilesExclude list? Anything
else I'm doing wrong?
From my host-specific config.pl:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -C -x -l root -i /path/to/keyfile
$host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/etc', '/var', '/home', '/root', '/usr',
'/lib', '/lib64', '/bin', '/sbin'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/var/named/chroot/dev',
'/var/named/chroot/etc', '/var/named/chroot/proc', '/var/log'];
