Greetings. Me again.
I upgraded my backup server and configured two hard drives into a single
logical volume with LVM for my TopDir, and successfully configured
BackupPC to backup a share on one of my host machines. Rejoicing was
heard throughout the LAN.
Now, I am faced with the necessity of backing up my /etc and some of my
user's home directory on that machine.
I want to exclude several directories under my user's home directory,
but the information I've seen is all about configuring BackupPC for a
Windows host. I am assuming I need to change this:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' => [
'images',
'Photos'
]
};
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/mnt/share'
];
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.1.106';
To this:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/mnt/share' => [
'images',
'Photos'
]
'/' => [
'etc'
]
'/home' => [
'madams'
]
};
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home/madams' => ['/torrent', '/Download'],
};
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/mnt/share', '/home/madams', '/etc'
];
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.1.106';
Is this right, or do I misunderstand this configuration?
Thanks.
