In my example, sharename1 and sharename2 are explicitly specified in
BackupFilesExclude. So the * exclusions will apply to all shares except
sharename1 and sharename2. If all you have is the * exclusions, then
they apply to everything.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'sharename1' => [
'exclusion1',
'exclusion2',
],
'sharename2' => [
'exclusion3',
'exclusion4',
],
'*' => [
'exclusion5',
'exclusion6',
],
};

OK, but, i don't understand "shares that are not explicitly specified".
If I put my config on the server. Are all directories wp-content/cache
excluded from /home/www/* ?
thanks

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).
