I'm a little suspicious of whether the sudo will cause a problem
with shell-meta characters - I'm not sure if an extra shell is
run by ssh in this case.
Try this:
- Try removing the '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines...' excludes (the
ones with meta characters)
- Try replacing sudo with a full path:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l netbackup $host sudo...';
In each case, you can run the backup manually with the -v flag to
see what rsync command is run, and then hit ^C to abort after you
see whether the excludes are working or not. Please post the rsync
command and whether it worked or not.
