I'm wondering if I've got the syntax right for this stuff...it looks
right, but I can't find any actual examples anywhere and some of the
files that I think should be excluded by this, aren't.
This is BackupPC 2.1.1 as installed by Debian Sarge (the full package
version string is '2.1.1-2sarge2').
When excluding directories, do I need to put a trailing '/' character?
Are wildcards allowed? When specifying directory names inside the
per-share array, do I put the leading '/' characters?
Also, this backup fails with the following error (the other 7 or 8
hosts we back up are fine)...but I think this may be due to its trying
to back up files that are getting created/destroyed or modified during
the run. That problem should solve itself once the files start getting
excluded properly, I'm guessing.
The following hosts had an error that is probably caused by a
misconfiguration. Please fix these hosts:
- hostname (aborted by signal=ALRM)
Here are the lines from the main config.pl that affect what's being
backed up (as far as I know...I can send other stuff as required,
didn't want to spam the list with the entire file :p).
----- cut here
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/','/usr','/var','/home'];
----- cut here
And, here are the entire contents (excluding comments) of the
host-specific config file for the machine in question:
----- cut here
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/dev',
'/tmp',
'/mnt',
'/floppy',
'/cdrom',
'/proc'
],
'/var' => [
'/log/maillog',
'/lib/mysql/data',
'/lib/mysql/mysql',
'/log/mysql/mysql.log',
'/log/mysql/mysql-bin*',
'/spool/exim4'
],
};
----- cut here
