well, why don't you do that? Assuming your statement was meant as a question and I'm guessing the correct question(s), you should either 1.) look at the rsync man page for the syntax of rsync excludes (BackupPC uses the excludes verbatim and in the order you specify them, in case you were wondering), 2.) look at the main config file for how to make excludes apply to a certain share, or 3.) rest assured that that is possible. I *could* quote the man page and config file verbatim, but that's unlikely to help you. If you don't understand part of the explanation in these sources, you're going to have to be more specific about what you don't understand. You're unlikely to find anyone here prepared to rephrase both of these documents in the hope of maybe making one point more clear for you. Hope that helps. Regards, Holger P.S.: I've got a spare ")" and you seem to be missing one.
