This works in much the same way it does on the command line: # cd proc This will take you into any directory called 'proc' that is available in whatever the current directory happens to be. # cd /proc This explicitly takes you to the '/proc' directory no matter where you start from. -- Bowie -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude not working as expected
Anything that you want to be explicitly excluded you will need to put the
full path in the excludes. Otherwise if it matches anywhere else in the
filesystem it will be excluded.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude not working as expected
Hi Bowie
Thanks for clearing that up. So does that mean I should also amend these
other excludes by putting a forward slash in front?
'etc/fstab', ==> '/etc/fstab',
'var/cache/apt/archives/*', ==> '/var/cache/apt/archives/*',
Thanks
Mark

You are telling it that you want all files/directories called 'proc' to
be excluded. If you only want to exclude '/proc', then list it that way.
You probably want to do the same thing with most of the rest of your
list unless you are also wanting to exclude all 'tmp' directories, etc.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/dev',
'/proc',
'/sys',
'/tmp',
...
'HDD2'
]
};
