I am new to Linux but so far have got Ubuntu installed on a spare box and added backuppc to perform a backup role for my two Windows machines. Backuppc is running and starts a backup but fails because of lack of disk space, the problem being large video files which I don't actually want to backup.
I am using SMB and I have the specified the Windows share as 'My Data (E)' which is what it is shared as under Windows. I must have got that right as it starts to backup that share. Within 'My Data (E)' is a folder of video files named 'DigiTV Recordings' which I want to exclude. I have specified an exclude which I have named 'My Data (E)/DigiTV Recordings/*' That must be wrong as it proceeds to backup that folder and then fails because of lack of space. What is wrong with my Exclude statement syntax? Should I have the slashes as / or as \ when specifying folders on a Windows machine? I added the * at the end in line with backuppc config file advice to catch sub-folders within the specified folder. Is that right?
