[BackupPC-users] Issues with Include and Exclude for a SMB backup
Hi, I am trying to ensure that I only back up certain directories on my laptop, which is done via SMB. However, the include and exclude just don't appear to be working at all. For the sake of discussion let's say that the SMB share is MyLaptop/Users. Underneath Users on this laptop I have the following directories: Default, dwilliams and Public. My Includes and Excludes are as follows: When a backup finishes everything in the excludes section is getting backed up, and several items from the include are not getting backed up. Any help would be much appreciated as there are a couple of important directories under dwilliams that I want to ensure get backed up. -- Dave Williams -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

Ok, so I removed the BackupFilesExclude
and still it is backing up directories that are not in the
include list, and also not backing up some directories
that are in the include list! Obviously I am doing something
wrong, but not sure what!

Per http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#_conf_backupfilesexclude_
"For Smb, only one of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} and
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} can be specified per share." The smbtar
client just doesn't have a way to handle both. You'll either have to
arrange top level shares for the things you want to include or install
cygwin rsync on the PC so you can use the full syntax.

Obviously I am doing something wrong, but not sure what! You have specified the inclusions incorrectly. BPC should be backing up everything based on this since you have not actually specified anything for your "Users" share. The first entry in the BackupFilesOnly (the key) should be the sharename, "Users". After you add that, use the buttons to the right to add the directories you want to backup within that share. -- Bowie -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

After you add that, use the buttons to the right to add the directories you want to backup within that share. Or, if there's only one share, you could use * for the key. That's usually what I do even with more than one share because the things I'm excluding are things like Documents and Settings or ProgramData or something like that, which is very unlikely to be on more than one of my shares for a host. And that way I avoid the problem you're having! :) Tim Massey Out of the Box Solutions, Inc.
