Hi I've installed BackupPC on Debian Lenny to backup Ubuntu Desktops (/home for all), I need to exclude all hidden files which is taking up lots of space. My focus is on user data files.
With reference to this article http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/how-to-include-certain-files-76171/ I tried the following (excuse me, i am perl ignorant ) 1st. $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' => ['.*']}; 2nd. $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '*' => ['.*'],}; 3rd. $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {'*' => ['.*', '*/.*'],} 4th. $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {'*' => ['.*', '*/.*']} All the above trials are generating these errors: 1. When I try to browse backup of the host it says "Error: Can't browse bad directory name /<username>" 2. LOG file: Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /home) 3. XferLOG, Errors: Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -n -l root sandeep-laptop env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /home --totals --newer=2009-09-23\ 09:00:00 --exclude=.\* . incr backup started back to 2009-09-23 09:00:00 (backup #4) for directory /home Xfer PIDs are now 29488,29487 [ skipped 1 lines ] tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal Other Info: 1. In Status page Failures that need attention has nothing 2. In the Host Summary web page it would say "done" Thanks! +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
