Re: [BackupPC-users] file exclude not working
So I believe I have figured it out. Seems rsync does relative filtering from the "root" directory that you are copying from. Here is the little blurb from the rsync man: o if the pattern starts with a / then it is anchored to a particu- lar spot in the hierarchy of files, otherwise it is matched against the end of the pathname. This is similar to a leading ^ in regular expressions. Thus "/foo" would match a file named "foo" at either the "root of the transfer" (for a global rule) or in the merge-file's directory (for a per-directory rule). An unqualified "foo" would match any file or directory named "foo" anywhere in the tree because the algorithm is applied recur- sively from the top down; so I removed the beginning of the directory I was trying to filter and left the pattern as rootfs/proc and it seems to be working.

Re: [BackupPC-users] file exclude not working
Thanks Ryan. I will try that but wondering why the BackupFilesExclude<https://backuppc.cloudflare.com/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item__conf_backupfilesexclude_>is not working. I would think that it would either add the --exclude args to the list or from what it seems to be doing sending the exclude over the connection. One other piece I forgot to mention is I am using a restricted shell to only allow rsync so not sure if that might be another reason for it not working. The command that is sent is being run so it doesn't seem to be cause of the issue.

[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/* .
