Ignorance is bliss until you start backing up what you don't
want. I now understand the hierarchy of the scripts below
and have revised the format as follows:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' =>[
'/subdir1',
'/subdir2',
'/subdir3'
]
};
The above applies to all mount points.
The below applies to a specific mount point.
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'mountpoint' =>[
'/subdir1',
'/subdir2',
'/subdir3'
]
};
This format carries over to the BackupFilesExclude.
I'm surprised that my old _client.pl files worked given my
prior assumptions, but except for one restore I've never
really checked what was actually getting backed up for the
last three years.

The below treated the sub directories as separate mount
points. I'm not sure how it was working but I noticed that
this format when applied to exclusions was not.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
