I can't seem to get this to work on BackupPC 4.1.3. I have a test script to back up some home directories on a Ubuntu 16.04 server: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '/data' => [ '' ] }; $Conf{ClientNameAlias} = [ 'ServerName' ]; $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -l backup $host nice -n 19 sudo $rsyncPath $argList+'; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ '/home/dave' ]; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
that generates the following log (I've obviously run multiple variations of this test script earlier with slashes before or after everything I could think of): Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/test7/XferLOG.0.z, modified 2017-10-29 14:39:08 XferLOG file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/test7/XferLOG.0.z created 2017-10-29 14:39:07 Backup prep: type = full, case = 1, inPlace = 1, doDuplicate = 0, newBkupNum = 0, newBkupIdx = 0, lastBkupNum = , lastBkupIdx = (FillCycle = 0, noFillCnt = ) Running: /usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc --bpc-top-dir /var/lib/backuppc --bpc-host-name test7 --bpc-share-name /home/dave --bpc-bkup-num 0 --bpc-bkup-comp 3 --bpc-bkup-prevnum -1 --bpc-bkup-prevcomp -1 --bpc-bkup-inode0 1 --bpc-attrib-new --bpc-log-level 1 -e /usr/bin/ssh\ -l\ root --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync --super --recursive --protect-args --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --times --links --hard-links --delete --delete-excluded --one-file-system --partial --log-format=log:\ %o\ %i\ %B\ %8U,%8G\ %9l\ %f%L --stats --checksum --timeout=72000 ServerName:/home/dave/ / full backup started for directory /home/dave Xfer PIDs are now 10015 This is the rsync child about to exec /usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc Xfer PIDs are now 10015,10048 xferPids 10015,10048 new recv cd+++++++++ rwxr-xr-x 1000, 1001 4096 . same recv >f..t.og... rw------- 1000, 1001 599 .bash_history same recv >f..tpog... rw-r--r-- 1000, 1001 220 .bash_logout same recv >f..tpog... rw-r--r-- 1000, 1001 3771 .bashrc same recv >f..tpog... rw-r--r-- 1000, 1001 655 .profile same recv >f..tpog... rw-r--r-- 1000, 1001 0 .sudo_as_admin_successful same recv >f..tp..... rw-r--r-- 0, 0 0 junque new recv cd+++++++++ rwx------ 1000, 1001 4096 .cache same recv >f..tpog... rw-r--r-- 1000, 1001 0 .cache/motd.legal-displayed new recv cd+++++++++ rwx------ 1000, 1001 4096 .ssh same recv >f..tpog... rw-r--r-- 1000, 1001 888 .ssh/known_hosts new recv cd+++++++++ rwxr-xr-x 1000, 1001 4096 data new recv cd+++++++++ rwxr-xr-x 1000, 1001 4096 data/ul same recv >f..tpog... rw-r--r-- 1000, 1001 399 data/ul/BackupPC_id_rsa.pub same recv >f..tpog... rw-r----- 1000, 1001 185 data/ul/servername.pl Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal, 0 filesNew, 0 sizeNew, 0 sizeNewComp, 23 inode Number of files: 15 Number of files transferred: 10 Total file size: 6717 bytes Total transferred file size: 6717 bytes Literal data: 0 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 510 File list generation time: 0.032 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 326 Total bytes received: 1024 sent 326 bytes received 1024 bytes 900.00 bytes/sec total size is 6717 speedup is 4.98 DoneGen: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 10 filesTotal, 6717 sizeTotal, 0 filesNew, 0 sizeNew, 0 sizeNewComp, 30 inode Xfer PIDs are now Running BackupPC_refCountUpdate -h test7 on test7 Xfer PIDs are now 10052 BackupPC_refCountUpdate: doing fsck on test7 #0 (full) since $ConfRefCntFsck == 1 BackupPC_refCountUpdate: host test7 got 0 errors (took 0 secs) Xfer PIDs are now Finished BackupPC_refCountUpdate (running time: 0 sec) Xfer PIDs are now All variations show the data folder in the backups and I don't see the exclude files directive anywhere in the command line which is likely the problem.
