Using '*' works also for the windows shares (at least when using samba).
So you don't have to specify C$, D$...
As for the syntax, personnally, had to actually tweak it a bit, for 2k3
and 2k8 servers:

Hi guys,
Johan,

Try this:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/tmp', '/dev'];

Thanks though.

Hi Ray,

You need to exclude /proc from your backups. It's a virtual file system
maintained by the kernel, and does not need to be backed up.
Here's the excludes we use for Linux hosts:

Gshergill-
Please refer to the abundant documentation on this topic. Here's a good
starting point, though the section on Linux excludes is just plain wrong.
The Windows excludes are quite good.

Try this:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/tmp', '/dev'];
/proc, /sys and /dev will produce errors if you don't exclude them...

Hi Oliver,
Just a random question, but do you back up linux machines?
It keeps failing for me at the point where it tries the file;
/proc/kcore
At this point it see's it's in use and aborts the backup... any way around that
which you know?
Thanks again.

One last thing though, could you try creating a user on the windows 2008
server. Give it admin rights and then try to connect to the share using
said account ?

Unfortunately that didn't work. Here is the error in xfer log;

Hi Oliver,

By the way, which version of samba are you using ?
Because with Samba < 3.2, you'll have some trouble getting it to connect
to Windows Server 2008.

This is interesting...

The program 'samba' is currently not installed.
My bad, did mean smb.conf.
The only thing I added to the global section of the smb.conf file is this:

Can you check if you have in your samba.conf file the following line:
