[BackupPC-users] Backup only some files / using BackupFilesOnly

2008-01-08 Thread Martin Milinovsky
I'm already using BackupPC for some time, but now I have a special case: I have to backup only all files with the extension .JPG or .jpg. I'm using rsync as transport method and the following configuration: $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ '/raid/Luxdaten/LuxKalk/Krausler_Anbote/' ]; $Conf{BackupFi
