[BackupPC-users] excluding files from backup

2011-09-07 Thread SSzretter

So what is the proper syntax for excluding files backed up via smb from a 
windows box (folders too)?
I have this currently, and I have tried adding a wildcard   '/WINDOWS/*' , no 
difference  :

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { 
  '*' = [ 
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp/', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/NTUSER.DAT', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/ntuser.dat.LOG', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application 
Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application 
Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat.LOG', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application 
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache/', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application 
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/OfflineCache/', 
'/Documents and Settings/*/Recent/', 
'*.lock', 
'Thumbs.db', 
'IconCache.db', 
'Cache', 
'cache', 
'/WINDOWS/', 
'/RECYCLER/', 
'/MSOCache/', 
'/System Volume Information/', 
'/AUTOEXEC.BAT', 
'/BOOTSECT.BAK', 
'/CONFIG.SYS', 
'/hiberfil.sys', 
'/pagefile.sys', 
'/WINNT/' 
  ] 
};

I found this thread which seems to imply my slashes need to go the other way ?? 
   like  '\WINDOWS\'  ??

http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/backupfilesexclude-via-smb-for-windows-shares-solved-90560/

This thread has similar information:
http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg08889.html

SO, what IS the proper way to define excludes so it's not going to back up the 
windows folder and similar?






HISTORY:

It's set to :

My file count / reuse summary is basically not changed (which I would expect 
some numbers to drop) in the web admin for the machine's latest backup.

You need to not have set BackupFilesOnly. What does your log file say?

Hi,

from backup]:
So what is the proper syntax for excluding files backed up via smb from a
windows box (folders too)?

ask smbclient. I was going to recommend reading smbclient(1), but it isn't
very explicit on the syntax of its excludes (in contrast to rsync(1)).

I have this currently, and I have tried adding a wildcard '/WINDOWS/*' ,
no difference :

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' = [
'/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/',
[...]
]
};

that would seem to be syntactically correct. In any case, the exclude would
apply, since you've got no other exclude for a share, and '*' would match any
share without an exclude.

I found this thread which seems to imply my slashes need to go the other
way ??like '\WINDOWS\' ??

Almost. In general, you should be able to use either '/' or '\\' as path
separator, but depending on who handles exclusions and how, it might only work
with the native path separator (if it's just a plain string comparison,
/WINDOWS/ obviously won't match \\WINDOWS\\; it *shouldn't* be a plain
string comparison, but I haven't checked the code, and it might not even be
the smbclient side handling the excludes).

Note how I tend to quote the backslash character; you'll have to do that, too,
in a config file (the web interface may or may not do it for you).

http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/backupfilesexclude-via-smb-for-windows-shares-solved-90560/

Sorry, I refuse to follow that reference.

This thread has similar information:
http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg08889.html

Does it? I read it as a simple issue of spelling error in the configuration.
Yes, if you misspell variable names, they won't be interpolated correctly.

Earlier, you had written:
In the latest xfer log for this morning, just a SMALL sampling:

create d 755 0/0 0 System Volume Information
create d 755 0/0 0 temp

Ah, yes. That's the lines immediately following the interesting ones. I had
thought it was obvious. My mistake. What *smbclient command invocation* does
the log file show? What excludes are passed?

Even before that, you had written:
After further investigation, I believe my file exclusions are not working in

entries for /WINDOWS/...

To which I had, sometime in between, replied:

Just for those readers who were gnirednow (that's wondering, but backwards)
about the context.

Holger (who will soon need a sanity break from this list)
