It got me closer, I've reduced the number of errors down pretty well. But
it's far from intuitive. For example, to skip these files:
NTUSER.DAT
ntuser.dat.LOG1
ntuser.dat.LOG2
UsrClass.dat
UsrClass.dat.LOG1
UsrClass.dat.LOG2
the entries that (finally) worked are (on the CGI page is):
*NTUSER.DAT
*ntuser.dat.LOG?
*UsrClass.dat
*UserClass.dat.LOG?
using any form of just the filename didn't work - prepending a wildcard is
what finally got me over that hump. Also, filenames are case sensitive.
I was also able to successfully skip a set of user profile directories
(TestUser1, TestUser2, ...) like this:
*\TestUser?
But still, I have not found how to skip JUNCTION directories. I've tried:
\Users\*\My Music\*
*\My Music\*
HOW CAN WE INCLUDE KNOWN JUNCTIONS IN BackupFilesExclude LIST?!?!?! If I
can get this final piece to work, I will have near 0 errors on my Windows
SMB backups.
(I'm aware that I can avoid some of these problems using rSync backup, but
I need to get SMB working none-the-less).
PLEASE, PLEASE, somebody fill me in on the secret?!
