[BackupPC-users] file exclude not working
Hi, I am new to backuppc. I have setup the server and it is backing things okay except in one instance. I am trying to backup a machine specifying multiple sharenames. For one of the shares I want to exclude some subdirs from being backed up. I am using the rsync method. For some reason it doesn't seem to be excluding that subdir though. Here is the log: Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /usr/var/lib/perceus/ Xfer PIDs are now 9350 Got remote protocol 30 Negotiated protocol version 28 Sent exclude: /usr/var/lib/perceus/vnfs/*/rootfs/proc/* Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/usr/var/lib/perceus/vnfs/gravityos-cf-logger/rootfs/proc/2/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/usr/var/lib/perceus/vnfs/gravityos-cf-logger/rootfs/proc/2/task/2/exe" Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/usr/var/lib/perceus/vnfs/gravityos-cf-logger/rootfs/proc/3/exe" I have set the sharenames and in BackupFilesExclude set the key to be the share /usr/var/lib/perceus and the value to /usr/var/lib/perceus/vnfs/*/rootfs/proc/* . What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help! Sri -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Yes. See $Conf{BlackoutPeriods}.

[BackupPC-users] Exclude a day
Hi, I'd like to exclude a day in the backup cycle. Currently, backups occur on every day of the week. However, on Saturdays, the BackupPC server is doing automated archives and I'm copying VM snapshots to it as well. That makes the system quite busy and backups slow way down. For example, and incremental that takes 250 minutes normally now takes 700 minutes. Is there a way to stop backups on Saturdays?
