i guess this question is really about perl syntax, but it might
be something commonly done by backuppc users, so here goes:
i have the following in my global config:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/proc',
'/sys',
],
'*' => [
'.cache',
'.gvfs',
'slocate.db',
'ID',
'*._nobackup_',
'*.o'
]
};
sometimes i wish to augment this list for a particular host:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/home', # /home is backed up separately on this host
'/proc',
'/sys',
],
'*' => [
'.cache',
'.gvfs',
'slocate.db',
'ID',
'*._nobackup_',
'*.o'
]
};
clearly it would be cleaner not to have to duplicate the entire
data structure in the host's config file.
is there a nice perl way to do something like this? syntax
intentionally left vague:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} += { ... '/home' ....}
i'd like to be able to append to either the '*' catchall array
or a share-specific array.

p.s. it's a testament to backuppc's stability that i've had my
subscription to this list disabled for almost 10 years!
