Ok, so I removed the BackupFilesExclude and still it is backing up directories that are not in the include list, and also not backing up some directories that are in the include list!  Obviously I am doing something wrong, but not sure what!

Hi,

I am trying to ensure that I only back up certain directories on my laptop, which is done via SMB.  However, the include and exclude just don't appear to be working at all.
Per http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#_conf_backupfilesexclude_
"For Smb, only one of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} and
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} can be specified per share."   The smbtar
client just doesn't have a way to handle both.   You'll either have to
arrange top level shares for the things you want to include or install
cygwin rsync on the PC so you can use the full syntax.
