I managed to get this done in the following way:
Instead of using $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} I
added an additional parameter "--exclude-from=" in $Conf{RsyncArgs}
which reads exclude-specifications from a file:
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'-D',
'--links',
'--hard-links',
'--times',
'--block-size=2048',
'--recursive',
'--exclude-from=/etc/backuppc/filter.txt'
];
The content of the file /etc/backuppc/filter.txt is the following:
+ *.jpg
+ *.JPG
+ */
- *
Don't ask me why $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} did not work and using a file
gets this right, but it works now! The only thing I'm not very happy
with is that all directories are backed up, even if they are empty (no
.JPG- or .jpg-Files in them).
Let me know if you have any other solutions for this problem or if you
get to know why the $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}-solution did not work.
