Subject: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Excludes - How To
Now that I have gotten my backuppc to work, I am backing up certain files on a
Windows harddrive. Most of the directories and files on the harddrive are to
be backed up, but I want to exclude several directories from the backup and the
files contained therein. Instead of indicating to backuppc the directories to
be backed up in RsyncShareName (which are numerous), I would like to merely
tell backuppc to backup the entire drive (in this case, "/cygdrive/j/") and to
exclude several of the directories on the the j drive (e.g. hey backuppc,
exclude "/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_1", "/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_2" etc.).
How can this be accomplished? When I look at the backuppc excludes function
using the cgi interface, and the examples given, I am a bit confused. Do I
merely type the below in the cgi interface to exclude the aforementioned:
BackupFilesExclude = ['/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_1',
'/cygdrive/j/useless_stuff_2'] (btw, is the "=" needed in the box or do I just
start with the open "[")
Or do I type the above or some variant directly into /etc/backuppc/config.pl or
the akibu-desktop.pl config file? Thanks.
