If you set RsyncShareName to /home/sorin you need to define a key /home/sorin
for BackupFilesExclude and add /Videos and /ownCloud to this key
It should look like this in your config file:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/home/sorin'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home/sorin' => [
'/Videos',
'/ownCloud'
]
};
