Ok, so you have two shares, '/home' and '/root'.

This will do absolutely nothing, since there is no share named
'/home/virt_admin'

This one should work to exclude files/folders with these names under the
'/home' share.
You should add another one here for 'virt_admin/Machines' to replace the
non-functional exclusion above.

[BackupPC-users] exclude ignores hidden folders
Hello,
I'm trying to backup my /home folder but exclude the vm folder used by VB, but
for some reason when ever I run backup, the folder's content is always backed
up.
what am I doing wrong? here is the host's config:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/home',
'/root'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home/virt_admin' => [
'Machines'
],
'/home/*' => [
'.VirtualBox/Machines',
'Downloads'
]
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
'hourEnd' => 6,
'weekDays' => [
0,
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6
],
'hourBegin' => 23
}
];
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 84;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [
12
];
$Conf{IncrAgeMax} = 84;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 4;
$Conf{IncrLevels} = [
1,
2,
3,
4
];
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = '3.97';
$Conf{BackupsDisable} = 2;
Thanks.
