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.

Apparently, you aren't, else it wouldn't.

I'm not an expert on Windoze, but in this case, I don't need to be. You don't
need to test. You can't.

You don't. Read this again:

Quite unambiguous.

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).

Regards,
Holger
