Hi,
Based on what G.W. Haywood sent me I think, fingers crossed that he has
pointed me in the right direction. I've made some changes to config.pl
that splits the shares in 2 root and home to see if that fixes the problem.
My bad it's rsyncd.conf not rsync.conf.
I opted to use a single config file as all the systems that I backup are
pretty similar, which makes it easy when I change something it applies
to all my systems.
I agree that I could simplify my / excludes i.e. /proc instead of
/proc/*, it's merely a convention that I fell into not so much for the /
and the standard directories, but for other file systems that I mount
within the root file system.
Anyway hopefully the changes that I've mad work.
Thanks
Pete

Hi, Maybe you can show us part of the relevant configuration files?
Are you using just a "config.pl" file or per-host configuration? Are
your /home/* shares on the same filesystem as the excluded shares?
My exclude list works as intended with rsync on Linux, I have had to
adjust my configuration files for BPC4 but it is now running fine,
so maybe we can work out what is not working for you.
All the best.
I'm using a single config.pl file for all the hosts, exclude list
from config.pl attached.
My rsync.conf file only has / /home and /boot in it which explains
why nothing in /export is being backed up which is what I want.
I don't have an exclude for /home/* only /home/new/*
I hope that I've answered your immediate questions, if not let me
know what else you might need that will help in solving this problem
Thanks

Hi, from a purely pragmatic perspective using per-host configuration
tends to make debugging easier, at least it is my experience.
When you say "my rsync.conf file" are you referring to a rsyncd.conf
file? Are you using the rsyncd method or rsync? I never needed a
rsync.conf file in relation to backuppc rsync operation before, hence
my question.
In your exclude list, what is the function of the back tick "`" after
the first '/host' definition in the "*" share?
Also if your main share is "/", and you don't need an empty directory
in the backup, you could use:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'/proc',
'/tmp',
'/dev',
...[snip]
instead of:
'/dev/*',
at least that's what I am doing and it works here.
I will wait for your answer before digging any further in your
configuration.
All the best.
