ah, that pretty much clears up everything. Which is not to say there may not be other problems, but it's obvious why the exclude isn't being applied. > Remote[1]: rsync: readdir("/mnt/lpl/System Volume Information"): Permission > denied (13) > [...] > $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ > '/mnt/lpl' > ]; > [...] > $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { > 'system files' => [ > '*.ALF', > '*.ADF', > '/mnt/lpl/System Volume Information' > ] > }; You've got exclude settings for a share named 'system files', but you're actually backing up a share named '/mnt/lpl' (for which you haven't defined any exclude). You need $Conf {BackupFilesExclude} = { '/mnt/lpl' => [ '*.ALF', '*.ADF', '/System Volume Information' ] }; See again the remark in my previous post about excludes being *relative to the transfer root* and note that the ShareName in BackupFilesExclude (and BackupFilesOnly likewise) needs to literally match the ShareName you are using *exactly* for BackupPC to apply it. The only special case is '*' which applies to all shares that *don't have an individual setting*. Note also that settings from the global config file and the host config file are *not* cumulative. If you have a setting in the host specific configuration, it overrides the global setting for this host.
