Because you have not told it to exclude anything. It works like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'ShareName' => [
'Exclusion'
],
};
So you have a list of (probably invalid) share names, none of which have
any exclusions. You probably want to do something like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/usr/local/vpopmail/domains',
'/usr/local/MPP/working',
'/proc',
'/var/qmail/queue',
'/backup',
]
};
Assuming that you are backing up the root directory.
