for my own understanding -- the problem could have been solved without
this syntax, if only the original pathnames had been relative rather than
absolute, correct? i.e., by changing this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/var/named/chroot/dev',
'/var/named/chroot/etc', '/var/named/chroot/proc', '/var/log'];
to this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['var/named/chroot/dev',
'var/named/chroot/etc', 'var/named/chroot/proc', 'var/log'];
correct?
or should it have been this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['named/chroot/dev',
'named/chroot/etc', 'named/chroot/proc', 'log'];
