I did a couple of more tests. First I removed
/backup/backuppc/pc/shebop/config.pl, and it backed up normally (backed up
the root filesystem, that is).
Then I changed the order of $Conf{RsyncShareName}:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/export/bedroom',
'/',
'/export/lildell',
'/data/extra',
'/data/home_videos',
'/data/images',
'/data/mp3s',
];
The odd thing here is it seems to have completely skipped root. So far it's
backed up /export/bedroom, /export/lildell, and /data/extra.
Anyone have any idea(s) about this?
