This might be a different problem altogether but it's kinda similar. I'm trying to backup windows share that I have mounted locally on the backup server using samba. And I'm just grabbing the main drives: C$, D$, F$, etc... And it will always fail on pagefile.sys because it's "busy". Is there a way to tell flexbackup to ignore that file? Here's what I have in exclude_expr: $exclude_expr[0] = '.*/[Cc]ache/.*'; $exclude_expr[1] = '.*~$'; $exclude_expr[2] = '.*pagefile\.sys.*'; $exclude_expr[3] = '.*PAGEFILE\.SYS.*'; And the output from a typical flexbackup session: flexbackup version 1.2.0 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net) /etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK |------------------------------------------------------------ | Checking 'buffer' on this machine...
