The documentation for $Conf{TarClientCmd} says
...
Also, you will probably want to add ``/proc'' to
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}.
The following variables are substituted at run-time:
...
$fileList specific files to backup or exclude
...
I took this to mean that $fileList takes care of excluding the files in
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}.
I have the following in my <host>.pl file:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'system' => [
'/proc',
'/sys',
'/tmp'
],
'backup' => [
'/media'
]
};
but the log show that it is still trying to backup /sys and /proc.

Id there something wrong with my $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} or do I need
to add --exclude <something> to TarIncrArgs?
Thanks,
Steve
