Hi, I've been wanting to say this for a long time:
Which patch to BackupPC are you proposing? Hint: you are posting to the -devel-list, so you are obviously discussing something pertaining to the development of BackupPC.

But let's back up a step. You wrote: > I have excluded that directory (\System Volume Information\SRM\), and I have > included to only backup the certain directories that I want backing up. No. You didn't. Again, the art of reading helps. From config.pl: # 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. So, you ***didn't*** exclude anything. Why your BackupFilesOnly includes \System Volume Information\ remains a mystery (at least to me).
