Hi, with backupPC 3 I cannot get the exclude to work properly. I think there is a problem with spaces in dirnames ("My Documents"). They should be passed to smbclient as "\ ", but they are are not. Perhaps it is a version problem of smbclient as well. I use the sernet packet for debian (3.0.25b).
On the command line this works: smbclient //hostname/share password -Uuser -E -N -d 3 -c tarmode\ full -TcrX - \\Documents\ and\ Settings\\*\\Local\ Settings\\Temporary\ Internet\ Files >test1.tar Note: The backslashes are required, forward slashes will not do it. But from backuppc it does not work (I had '\\temp' as a test in the hostname.pl , but was not ignored). I tried to get the resulting command line, saw the missing "\ " for the spaces, the rest looked not bad, but smbclient seams not to like it at all. Simple file ignores are working ("*.obj"). Does somebody have experiences here? -- Many regards, Dieter :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
