I just mention the files by name, and they get backed up e.g.
/etc/fstab
This is in the same list having folders e.g.
/etc/Backuppc
so, do you have more clues regarding the failed backup of the files?  What is in the transfer log (3rd column of the "Xfer Error Summary" table.

I just decided to backup the entire /etc directory for sake of time spent trying to figure out how to backup only select files.

I have folders backing up fine but I want to back up single files like /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and a few others.

I know it must be something really simple I’m missing in the config of rsyncsharename section of the per pc config file.

Thanks
