I had previously posted about a problem I was having with backup file selection. I might have discovered a bug. Just to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong, I removed all traces of BackupPC and reinstalled it from scratch. So I now have a virgin installation of BackupPC 3.1 on a CentOS5 x86 system. I'm using the rsync transport.
I have a client on which I want to only backup the /etc/namedb directory and the /etc/namedb.conf file. My server configuration has nothing in BackupFilesOnly and BackupFilesExclude. My client configuration has /etc/namedb and /etc/namedb.conf in BackupFilesOnly with Override selected, and nothing in BackupFilesExclude. When I run a full backup of the client, the whole system gets backed up!! I was expecting on the things I had specified in the client configuration to be backed up. What am I doing wrong? Also, I read the documentation and learned that if the smb transport is being used, there are rules about what happens if both BackupFilesOnly and BackupFilesExclude and specified. Why do these rules only apply when smb is used, and not when rsync is used? What I'm trying to do is very basic so I'm mystified why it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated?
