Sure, using includes/excludes you can specify precisely what files/

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to archive only part of a backup?
Thank you for your quick reply.
I know and I use include/exclude (only exclude really) directories.
What I want to achieve is not changing the regular backup, which is the
whole machine, but only archiving part of it.
In other words, backup the whole machine but only archive two directories.
Thanks!

You can archive just one share if you want. So you can configure your
host with two shares
- the whole machine (including or excluding the part you want to
archive, as you want)
- the part you wan't to archive only
then, specify on the command line which share you want to archive (with
the -s option)
You can also create a virtual host, which point to the real host you
want (with $Conf{ClientNameAlias}) and that you can configure with
different share(s).

[BackupPC-users] move datadir to a CIFS mounted windows share
Hi List As stated in the README.Debian, I tried to move my DATADIR to a remote location : A Windows machine wich sees its content backed up daily by corporate backup system. I created a backuppc folder on the samba share and made a symbolic link in /var/lib to that folder. Samba share is correctly mounted as backuppc user, so all files are owned by the linux backuppc user. The issue : BackupPC server cannot start.

[BackupPC-users] cross backups (gentoo - WinXP)
Greetings, I am a newbie in BackupPC but so far so good - everything works fine. I backup a laptop (WinXP) on a desktop (gentoo). I now would like to try doing cross backups and am looking for some guidance to avoid reinventing the wheel. My goal is to back up on my laptop some parts of the desktop when the laptop is available on the network (say, /etc to be backed up in C:\SERVER_BACKUP\etc). In other words, the backup store for desktop (which also hosts BackupPC) should be on the WinXP laptop. Is there a straightforward way to achieve this? I would be grateful for any pointers.

Note that the defaults aren't bad for most people if most of the machines you back up are on all the time so backups can run at night.
