Here is an example of excluding a Windows directory from a backup. #$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'C$'; $Conf{SmbShareName} = 'D$'; $Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'LRC-FILESRV\admin'; $Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '******'; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { 'D$' => ['\.metadata','\System Volume Information', '\RECYCLER'] }; You have to use back rather than forward slashes!!
