HI,
Ahh, based on your config I think that I see my problem. I've split my
exclude list from a single list to 2 lists one for my root share and one
form my home share .
Hopefully that will solve my problem.
Thanks for the info.
Pete

You need to show us exactly what you have in the configuration which
you think is excluding things. It's not obvious what might be wrong
if we can't see it.
By way of example, here's an exclude of mine:
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ 'Config', 'Homes', ];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} =
{
'Homes' =>
[
'/XXXX/src',
'/XXXX/DVD',
'/XXXX/temp',
'/XXXX/.cache',
'/XXXX/.mozilla',
]
};
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = XXXX
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = XXXX
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is in a per-PC file at
/etc/BackupPC/pc/receptionpc.pl
As you can see I'm using rsyncd. I've redacted parts of the config
and any comments. Otherwise, what you see there is the entire file.
The exclude itself is a Perl structure. There are two files and three
directories in it. If you aren't familiar with Perl the syntax can be
a little taxing but you can probably use my example by just tweaking
the paths to suit. Note that there IS supposed to be a trailing comma
at the end of my lists of items; Perl doesn't care either way but it's
convenient to leave one there for the next time it gets changed. This
example however hasn't changed since February 2020. It runs nightly.
