Change the last part to: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '/var' => [ '/lib/backuppc' ] }; or $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { 'var' => [ '/lib/backuppc' ] }; I'm not sure if the literal share name is needed or not. Of course, you could use * and just fixup the directory to exclude, but that would also exclude a directory called /home/lib/backuppc which in this instance probably wouldn't matter (wouldn't happen) but with another example may make a big difference.... Hope that helps.
