Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Excludes Parameter $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} Not
Excluding
Try removing the leading "/" from each of the exclude paths. Also, you should
just exclude, eg, "OneDrive", not "OneDrive/*", and same for AppData.

All,
I have an arch linux server backing up two Windows 10 clients via rsync. In
the main config.pl<http://config.pl> file, I have excluded via
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} several subdirectories and files (listed below).
However, they don't seem to be being excluded by backuppc. I don't have any
per-pc excludes as all of the subdirectories and files to be exlcuded are
common on both machines. Is there something about the exclude syntax that I am
misunderstanding? On each machine the share to be backed up
$Conf{RsyncShareName} is "/mnt/c/Users/". Below I have listed the
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} entries. I have also listed a snippet of the error
messages that I am getting. There are thousands of the error messages.
Sometimes the error mesage is "Permission denied" and sometimes it is "Invalid
argument". However, those directories and files that backuppc is trying to
access are supposed to be being excluded to begin with. Any assistance would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Akibu
