Package: rsnapshot
Version: 1.2.9-1
Severity: normal

With the following lines in the configuration file:

  exclude /sys
  exclude /proc
  backup [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ wall/ exclude=/var/spool/squid

the rsync call used is

  /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative
  --delete-excluded --exclude=/var/spool/squid --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ /srv/backups/daily.0/wall/ 

you can see how the /sys and /proc excludes are being ignored.
I would consider this a bug as this behaviour is not documented.
I think global exclude/include options should apply to all backups.
