If you use '/' as the key, then these excludes only apply to machines where you backup / (which may be all of your machines). Using '*' means: use these excludes for all machines that don't have any explicit excludes attached to them, which would have the same effect if you backup / on all your machines. We use the following with rsync over SSH and it works just fine: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' => [ '/proc', '/var/named/run-root/proc', '/sys', '/mnt' ] }; Nils Breunese. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
