Thanks for replying.
No doubt, but I was thinking that BackupPC would pass the appropriate
arguments to the transport mechanism since each one is implemented in
its own Perl module.
In any case, the only mention of rsync in that section you mention
has to do with specifying --one-file-system. I don't think that's
relevant in my case because I'm not complaining about /proc
being backed up.

Sure. In /etc/BackupPC/config.pl
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {};
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {};
In /etc/BackupPC/pc/client.pl
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/etc/namedb' => [
''
],
'/etc/named.conf' => [
''
]
};
The only other thing I can think of is that my "share" name
is "/" but even so, I would expect BackupFilesOnly to do
its trick. (I'm not sure what "share" really means when
backing up Unix systems).
Cordially,
