And thank you for even getting this far on the little info.

It is possible yes. It is just that everything works so beautifully out
of the box and when the filter worked for full backup but only partially
for incremental it threw me to confusion. When I say partially working
for incremental I mean that the data from within the include filter get
backed up but I get attrib stubs for everything else on the c share.

It is the only filter I have set and it is in the per-host config. No
filters in my global config.

Yep this one SmbClientFullCmd
$smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U $userName -E -N -d 1 -c
tarmode\ full -Tc$X_option - $fileList
and this one SmbClientIncrCmd
<http://tomato:8080/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=view&type=docs#item__conf_smbclientincrcmd_>
$smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U $userName -E -N -d 1 -c
tarmode\ full -TcN$X_option $timeStampFile - $fileList
This is out of the box BackupPC config.

It is verbatim. Cut-paste default config.

You could say that everything is the very latest stable build. I have
absolutley no problems except for this incremental filtering stub
creation phenomenon.

Sure, I guess what I meant was that I was assuming that include and
exclude list processing by BackupPC use the same filter definitions ie.
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly}

I believe that as a first time user of BackupPC the command settings for
smbclient are ready to go are they not? If so, then the contribution of
the default commands as pasted above to the filtering phenomenon during
incrmental (that I am experiencing at least) probably needs some
discussion if you don't mind.
Beyond the required config in the install recipes I have only changed
two settings in BackupPC config, honest. These are the two:
Globally
BackupsDisable = 1
Per-host(override)
BackupFilesOnly (c share) = /nucoda/*
Okay, now that I have pasted this in I have a funny feeling the c should
be a c$ (seeing the SmbShareName = c$).
Could this be the answer? As far as I can remember I must have primed
the per-host config with the empty $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}hash in order
to get the ADD/DELETE buttons in the Web UI but primed it with c - not
c$ ...
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'c' => [
'/nucoda/*' <--- added with the web ui
]
};
If this was the problem the question would still need to be asked about
why Full could handle using the filter as I had it but Incremental could'nt?

Thanks Holger and thanks all. Please excuse my slackness earlier and
soon as I have tested the config using c$ versus c in the filter hash
I'll get back to you all with the results.
