Stupid of me, I had not define the d: drive in the rsync.conf file in the
computer to be backed-up, sorry for that!
Last log shows both c: and d: drive were properly backed-up yesterday,
although the exclude are still not considered.
I then need to fix how to exclude these directories. What could be wrong in
the syntax here, any idea?
Config.pl of the PC:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive','dDrive'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'c' => ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files','/WINDOWS/Temp','/pagefile.sys','hiberfil.sys','/RECYCLER'],
'd' => ['/Download'],
};
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '********';
Thanks for any hint!
Guy

Hi Craig, thanks to take the time to reply my query!
I also don't understand why this is happening but I enclose here after
excerpts of three files, i.e.:
Contents of file /etc/backuppc/config.pl, (MAIN CONFIG.PL file for
backuppc)
###########################################################################
# What to backup and when to do it
# (can be overridden in the per-PC config.pl)
###########################################################################
# Name of the host share that is backed up when using SMB. This can be a
# string or an array of strings if there are multiple shares per host.
# Examples:
#
$Conf{SmbShareName}
<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7bsmbsharename%7d>
= 'c'; # backup 'c' share
#
$Conf{SmbShareName}
<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7bsmbsharename%7d>
= ['c', 'd']; # backup 'c' and 'd' shares
#
# This setting only matters if
$Conf{XferMethod}
<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7bxfermethod%7d>
= 'smb'.
#
$Conf{SmbShareName}
<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7bsmbsharename%7d>

#
# This can also be a list of multiple file system paths or modules.
# For example, by adding --one-file-system to
$Conf{RsyncArgs}
<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7brsyncargs%7d>
you
# can backup each file system separately, which makes restoring one
# bad file system easier. In this case you would list all of the mount
# points:
#
#
$Conf{RsyncShareName}
<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7brsyncsharename%7d>

$Conf{XferMethod}

# # original arguments here

Now for my second PC which have no D drive things run smooth with the directory
properly excluded
(here is the contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/dell4550/config.pl
$Conf{XferMethod}<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7bxfermethod%7d>=
'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName}<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7brsyncsharename%7d>=
'cDrive';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7bbackupfilesexclude%7d>=
['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files',
'/WINDOWS/Temp', '/pagefile.sys', '
hiberfil.sys', 'Corbeille'];
$Conf{RsyncdUserName}<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7brsyncdusername%7d>=
'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd}<http://localhost/backuppc/index.cgi?action=view&type=docs#item_%24conf%7brsyncdpasswd%7d>=
'****';)
Must be a syntax problem somehow!
Thanks!
