Try this instead: ============================ $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' => [ '/selinux/*', '/dev/*', '/var/lib/backuppc', 'data', '/data/*', '/proc/*' ] }; ============================ This will apply to all shares. If you want to be specific, replace the '*' with the share name. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
