Hi all,
i am tring to configure BackupPc to EXCLUDE some directories on my backups.

I need to exclude many (very big) caches directories from backups on different machines

can you help me?

this is my configuration but doen't work, navigationg on the backups i always have /wp-content/cache/ directory filled of GB of files

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  'cscart-cache' => [
    '/*/var/cache/*'
  ],
  'prestashop-cache' => [
    '/*/cache/cachefs/*'
  ],
  'wordpress-cache' => [
    '/*/wp-content/cache/*'
  ]
};

Looks like the mistake is that the first part of the exclusion isn't a label, it has to either exactly match one of your share names, or '*' if the exclusions apply to all shares.  Since I don't know your share names, I can't tell you exactly what it should look like, but it general, it looks like this:

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
    'sharename1',
    'sharename2',
    'sharename3',
    'sharename4',
];

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
    'sharename1' => [
        'exclusion1',
        'exclusion2',
    ],
    'sharename2' => [
        'exclusion3',
        'exclusion4',
    ],
    '*' => [
        'exclusion5',
        'exclusion6',
    ],
};

So the first two exclusions only apply to sharename1, the next two only apply to sharename2, and the last two apply to all other shares (sharename3 and sharename4 in this example).
