If you use * as the share name in the exclude, then that will apply to
any shares that are not explicitly specified. If you specify a share to
add additional exclusions, you'll have to duplicate the generic ones for
that share.
I am not aware of any special path requirements. The path specification
should be the same regardless of how you specify the share. It is
simply relative to the root of the share directory.

If sharename is *, you must place the full path of the directory.
For example
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'/home/www/*/wp-content/cache', // wordpress
]
};

Okk thank you Bowie,
so a common option can be use * as share name, and put a list of
common cms cache path's, is not wrong isn't?
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'wp-content/cache/', // wordpress
'cache/cachefs/', // prestashop
'var/cache/' // pcscart
]
};
thanks again

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).
