because the former works while the latter doesn't :).
I'm not sure whether you are suggesting a change to BackupPC to strip out
share names from in-/excludes. If you are, I'm not sure I agree that that
would even be a good idea. In any case, it would be complicated to implement
and require exact knowledge of in-/exclude syntax for the XferMethod within
BackupPC.

You're probably trying to say that the original poster should be using
RsyncShareName = '/' instead of whatever he is currently using. I don't really
feel like getting into religious wars over configuration practices, so I'll
just hint at the consequences of *changing* the backup layout (like
retransferring all data, not to mention the topic of restoring data from
before the change). My personal recommendation is: use whatever you feel
comfortable with and what works for you.
