Assuming '/export/home' is your sharename, it should look like this: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { '/export/home' => [ '/xyz' ], '/export/home' => [ '/abc' ] }; This sets the exclusion specifically for the '/export/home' share. If you want it to apply to all shares, or if you only have one share and want to cut down on typing, you can use '*' instead of the sharename. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
