You don't need the trailing /* with rsync. I use that in a few places, but
only because it excludes everything under the directory, but backs up the
directory itself. Useful for restoring directory meta-data.
Note that the excludes are simply passed to the underlying transport (rsync,
tar, etc)... see "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES" in the rsync man page for how
they will get handled.
Mine typically looks like this (which is what the examples in the docs look
like):
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/mydata' => [
'/vmware',
'/xen',
'/kvm'
]
};
