I kept trying any other way and finally SOLVED the problem by just doing:
Config.pl of the PC:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive','dDrive'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local
Settings/Temporary Internet Files','/WINDOWS/Temp','
/pagefile.sys',' hiberfil.sys','/RECYCLER', '/Download'];
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '********';
So I guess the exclusions apply to both drive even if they don't exit in
both. Fact is, these directories are excluded now!
Thanks and have a good day!

2007/3/30, Guy Malacrida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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!
