This is from my previous post which I think should be in the archives:
I experimented a bit and found that the exclusions do work, and more
than one exclusion can be used. The trick was to prefix a backslash to
the directory or file that is excluded. Forward slashes did not work.
The exclusions are relative to the root of the share, of course.
I am using samba-3.0.14a on a Gentoo box, backing up Windows XP Pro and
Server 2003.
Some examples:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = [ '\foo' ]
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = [ '\foo', '\*\bar' ]
Per-share excludes can be done as well:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'share1$' => [ '\foo' , '\bar' ],
'share2$' => [ '\foobar' ],
};
