All of my excludes look like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/var/named/chroot/proc', '/mnt',
'/sys', '/media'];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'wholedrive';
They seem to work fine. I'm using 3.0.0beta3. Is your rsync share name
correct? Shouldn't your exclude path be _relative_ to that directory
then? My "wholedrive" is "/", so my directories are relative. Yours
aren't.
