After reading this thread, I believe I may be able to shed a little light on
this topic. My testing has been using the FTP option rather than rsync. I
haven't investigated if rsync uses the same code.
I had a config like this:
$Conf{FtpShareName} = [
'/root'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/root' => [
'/Desktop'
]
};
Using the stock 3.2.0 code I was either getting everything under /root or
nothing at all. (I can't remember, but it was wrong.)
Anyway, I discovered several bits of broken code in Protocol.pm concerning
include/exclude file selection. I have includes and excludes working now but am
still chasing down all variations of situations.
When I have the code working better, I will send it to the developer.
