This happens on all of the hosts, regardless of whether or not there are per host configuration files.
As an update, it works fine if I update the RsyncArgs directly, like so: $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ # # Do not edit these! # '--numeric-ids', '--perms', '--owner', '--group', '--links', '--times', '--block-size=2048', '--recursive', # # If you are using a patched client rsync that supports the # --checksum-seed option (see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net), # then uncomment this to enabled rsync checksum cachcing # #'--checksum-seed=32761', # # Add additional arguments here # '-D', '--bwlimit=200', '--exclude', '/proc', '--exclude', '/sys', '--exclude', '/tmp', '--exclude', '/var/tmp', '--exclude', '/usr/tmp', '--exclude', '/mnt', '--exclude', '/media', '--exclude', '/auto', '--exclude', '/var/run/acpid.socket', '--exclude', '/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket', '--exclude', '/var/lib/backuppc/cpool', '--exclude', '/var/lib/backuppc/pc', '--exclude', '/var/lib/backuppc/pool', '--exclude', '/var/lib/backuppc/trash', '--exclude', '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/*/*.vmdk', '--exclude', '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/*/*.vmem', '--exclude', '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/*/*.vmsd', '--exclude', '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/*/*.vmsn', '--exclude', '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/*/*.vmss', '--exclude', '/backupdata', ]; -- Puryear Information Technology, LLC Baton Rouge, LA * 225-706-8414 http://www.puryear-it.com Visit http://www.puryear-it.com/pubs/ebooks/ to download your free copies of: "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" "Spam Fighting and Email Security in the 21st Century" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
