Hello,
If you look into your C drive for example, you should have a folder named:
"Documents and Settings", but that is just actually a link to "Users", it
is the same for my documents, my videos and some others. So, no need to
back them up twice (takes time for nothing).
I attached the main list I use, though might not be exhaustive.
When you edit the configuration file, you need to reload the configuration
file, the documentation provides 3 ways to do this. The web interface, the
kill -HUP backup pc way and just stopping / restarting the service.
Otherwise the configuration file is only reloaded every 24 hours.
Regards,

# For tar, if the exclude file contains a "/" it is assumed to be anchored
# at the start of the string. Since all the tar paths start with "./",
# BackupPC prepends a "." if the exclude file starts with a "/". Note
# that GNU tar version >= 1.13.7 is required for the exclude option to
# work correctly. For linux or unix machines you should add
# "/proc" to $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} unless you have specified
# --one-file-system in $Conf{TarClientCmd} or --one-file-system in
# $Conf{RsyncArgs}. Also, for tar, do not use a trailing "/" in
# the directory name: a trailing "/" causes the name to not match
# and the directory will not be excluded.
#
# Users report that for smbclient you should specify a directory
# followed by "/*", eg: "/proc/*", instead of just "/proc".
#
# If a hash is used, a special key "*" means it applies to all
# shares that don't have a specific entry.
#
# Examples:
# $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = '/temp';
# $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/temp']; # same as first example
# $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/temp', '/winnt/tmp'];
# $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
# 'c' => ['/temp', '/winnt/tmp'], # these are for 'c' share
# 'd' => ['/junk', '/dont_back_this_up'], # these are for 'd' share
# };
# $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
# 'c' => ['/temp', '/winnt/tmp'], # these are for 'c' share
# '*' => ['/junk', '/dont_back_this_up'], # these are for other shares
# };
