Does $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} actually prevent rsync from transferring
those files, or does it only cause BackupPC to ignore those files once
they're transferred. (I was under the impression I needed to specify
the excludes in the $Conf{RsyncArgs} to do what I want, but maybe I'm
wrong). It's important to me that the files never get transferred,
because it's about 75 GB worth of data I'm trying to exclude, and the
backup is being done over the internet.
