So I added one entry


‘cygwin64’,



Also tried



‘/cygwin64’,



Also tried



‘”cygwin64”’



Also tried



‘”/cygwin64”’



Restarted the service after trying all of these and it still shows this
when I backup and it is backing up the C:\cygwin64 directory.

Any other ideas?  I cannot seem to exclude folders.

All,

I am having a major issue with BackupPC. I first tried using
BackupFilesOnly to restrict backups to just the C:\Users directory, but I
needed to exclude some files and since the first overrides the second I
decided to try just using the ExcludeFiles directive. I am using the
following.

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

I restarted the BackupPC service and I am manually running a backup using

I am seeing this when backing up.

I excluded the “Program Files” directory, so not sure why it is still
backing up. I also checked the backup location and it is indeed backing up
these files. Any ideas?

I believe you'll find the key to the discrepancy by comparing the logs to
the exclusions. Let's have a look. The exclude is:

/Program Files

and the log reports

Program

Files/WindowsApps/Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_1.0.20.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe/data/resource_packs/vanilla/ui/ui_template_toggles.json

This suggests to me one of two possibilities:

1) Noting the lack of a leading slash in the logs, it may make sense to
remove the leading slash in the excludes and give it a whirl

2) I also note the unfortunate space in “Program Files” — if every other
exclude is behaving as expected, then it may be that smbclient is
interpreting this as “exclude \Program and exclude Files” which isn't
having the desired effect. If this is the case, you might want to try
“\Program*Files” instead, which will pick up directories with similar
names, but will identify the issue.
