I'm having some problems with smb-tar excludes, too (my first smb client because of never ending VISTA 64-bit related issues with DeltaCopy and/or cygwin-rsyncd) and I read on: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Smb_exclude

Maybe I should try it your way then ... ;-) Bernhard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- I backup Windows Vista without a problem with Deltacopy. I mainly followed one of the wiki pages to exclude the 'junction points'. There is more stuff than necessary in the one I list below, but I can't find the Wiki pages (what happened there?) Ah, here is the link to the specific page for Vista www.cs.umd.edu/~cdunne/projs/backuppc_guide.html Also mind the {ClientCharset}. Greetings, Koen Linders Excludes for rsyncd. $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1252'; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' => [ '/Documents and Settings', '/ProgramData/Application Data', '/ProgramData/Desktop', '/ProgramData/Documents', '/ProgramData/Favorites', '/ProgramData/Start Menu', '/ProgramData/Templates', '/Users/All Users', '/Users/Users/Default User', '/Users/Users/All Users/Application Data', '/Users/Users/All Users/Desktop', '/Users/All Users/Documents', '/Users/All Users/Favorites', '/Users/All Users/Start Menu', '/Users/All Users/Templates', '/Users/*/Application Data', '/Users/*/Cookies', '/Users/*/Local Settings', '/Users/*/My Documents', '/Users/*/NetHood', '/Users/*/PrintHood', '/Users/*/Recent', '/Users/*/SendTo', '/Users/*/Start Menu', '/Users/*/Templates', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Application Data', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/History', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Temporary Internet Files', '/Users/*/Documents/Mijn Muziek', '/Users/*/Documents/My Music', '/Users/*/Documents/My Pictures', '/Users/*/Documents/My Videos', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Temp', '/Users/*/NTUSER.DAT*', '/Users/*/ntuser.dat*', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat*', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Defender/FileTracker', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Explorer/thumbcache_*.db', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/WER', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache', '/Users/*/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/OfflineCache', '/Users/*/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Cookies', '/Users/*/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Recent', '/ProgramData/Microsoft/Search', '/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows Defender', '*.lock', 'Thumbs.db', 'IconCache.db', 'Cache*', 'cache*', '/Program Files', '/Windows', '/$Recycle.Bin', '/MSOCache', '/System Volume Information', '/Boot', '/autoexec.bat', '/bootmgr', '/BOOTSECT.BAK', '/config.sys', '/config.sys', '/hiberfil.sys', '/pagefile.sys', '/Program Files (x86)', '/Users/*/Music', '/DriveKey', '/IDE', '/PerfLogs', '/ProgramData', '/Program Files', '/Program Files (x86)', ] }; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
