Re: [BackupPC-users] Excludes not working

I have never been able to get excludes to work either. I tried a few of the
suggestions here. I have all Windows machines and am using smb to back them
up.
Anyway, here is what I have in the exclude section:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'c$' = [
'/program files',
'/axium',
'/i386',
'/drivers',
'/dell',
'/temp',
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files',
'/windows'
]
};
So, what is wrong here?

Not an expert, so this is just a guess . . . have you tried a backslash after
a word preceding a space?
So /Program\ Files
and /Documents\ and\ Settings/*/Local\ Settings/Temporary\ Internet\ Files
also be aware of capitalization.

Re: [BackupPC-users] External WD Worldbook Device
Quoting David Williams dwilli...@dtw-consulting.com: Just trying to follow up on this. So, the workbook drive that I have cannot create hard links L so this means I can no longer use this drive for doing backups, since the hardlink check will stop this. Is the hardlink issue related to the drive itself, or is it related to the fact that it is formatted to NTFS format ? Is there a way to format this drive so that it can create hardlinks (ext3?) and can be used for backups again ? It's a 1TB drive and I'd hate to have to buy another drive. David Williams David, Check out this website - http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/ It is dedicated to hacking the MyBook World Edition. Specifically, this page http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/troubleshooting deals with reformatting the data partition to ext3. I use my World Book as a destination for my BackupPC setup. I connect via NFS so there aren't problems with hardlinks. Mike -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [BackupPC-users] External WD Worldbook Device
Hi David, Check your permissions on your backup folders. There is a chance that your new installation create your BackupPC user and group with a different numerical id than your previous install. If you do a ls -la on /backups and get a number back instead of a user/group name that is your problem. Mike Quoting David Williams dwilli...@dtw-consulting.com: All, Up until very recently I have had BackupPC 3.0 working with my 1TB external WD Mybook world edition device, which is connected to my LAN and which I mount via cifs. I recently had to upgrade my machine to a newer version on Linux (Mandriva 2009.0) and with that comes BackupPC 3.1. Once I had setup installed BackupPC 3.1, mounted my backup device using cifs and restored my configuration files I started up BackupPC only to get the message: Can't create a test hardlink... And BackupPC would not start :-( Thankfully I have been able to comment out this check from the BackupPC program and get BackupPC up and running so that I can restore what I need from my backup drive via the web interface. Under BackupPC 3.0 I never had a problem performing backups and I can still access the backups that I have from the 3.0 version. There are no error messages in any of the log files. So, did something change between 3.0 and 3.1 ? Is there a way I can check manually by creating a hardlink on the backups partition from the shell ? Sorry, not a Linux guru so not well up on the commands to do this. I did take a look through the archives but nothing jumped out to me as to the problem. I would assume that since backups were working just fine with 3.0 that they should be fine in 3.1 and that my external drive is ok? Would appreciate any help as I'd like to get my backups up and running again. I did do a df -i and got the following output: FilesystemInodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on //192.168.15.6/public 116M1.7M115M2% /backups Regards, -- ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
