Ok, so you have two shares, '/home' and '/root'.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home/virt_admin' = [
'Machines'
],
This will do absolutely nothing, since there is no share named
'/home/virt_admin'
I see, strangely enough I remember that this actually worked and the content
of Machines wasn't updated.
none the less I'll do this, thanks.
'/home/*' = [
'.VirtualBox/Machines',
'Downloads'
]
};
This one should work to exclude files/folders with these names under the
'/home' share.
thing is, it doesn't seems to do that, I still backup this folder's content.
Actually, I take that back. I must not have noticed the * at the end.
That one won't work either because there is not a share named '/home/*'.
The first part of the exclude must either be a share name or '*' if it
is to apply to all shares. So in your case, only the following will work:
'/root'
'/home'
'*'
Anything else will be ignored. So replace both of your current excludes
with this and it should work better:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home' = [
'.VirtualBox/Machines',
'Downloads',
'/virt_admin/Machines',
],
};

I was able to make it work with the following config:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/home',
'/root'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home' = [
'*/.VirtualBox/Machines',
'*/Downloads',
'virt_admin/Machines'
]
};
thanks for all the help

I don't think the '*/' is required, but the syntax for the exclusions
tends to be picky and depends on the transfer method, so if it's
working, you should probably just leave it alone. :)

You should add another one here for 'virt_admin/Machines' to replace the
non-functional exclusion above.
I'll try what you have suggested to see maybe it will work, will update later
on, thanks.
ok, I'm half way into the backup and I see that the content of
.VirtualBox/Machines is backed up so something I'm doing wrong, see:

[BackupPC-users] exclude ignores hidden folders
Hello,

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{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
'hourEnd' = 6,
'weekDays' = [
0,
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6
],
'hourBegin' = 23
}
];
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 84;
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [

Thanks.
