Are you using both exclude and include on the same share?  Per the docs:

  "For Smb, only one of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} and
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} can be specified per share. If both are set for
a particular share, then $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} takes precedence and
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} is ignored."

 I do not know how to stop backuppc from not backing up this
directory? I've tried excluding the directory, and then only included
the directories that I want backing up.

 I'm not sure on what do next?

 I really need this SMB share backing up through backuppc.

 Any ideas, please?


Could we move this to backuppc-users?

The next step is probably to post the relevant portions of your 
config.pl (most likely, the machine-specific config with the includes 
and excludes) so that you can obtain help in debugging it.  There's a 
very high chance that there's a simple logical error that's causing 
BackupPC to interpret the exclusions (or inclusions) differently than 
you're expecting.


Also quite helpful:  the resulting command line (it will be smbclient 
for SMB/CIFS transports) since this tells us how BackupPC, ultimately, 
has interpreted your config files.
