Hi Pavel finally getting back around to this. Notice the exclude directive is included. Here’s a comment we have in the config file: # Change default tar arguments if desired. By default these are: #tarargs=--atime-preserve --one-file-system # Because aquota.user cannot have its atime reset, tar will give # an error status=2 if --atime-preserve is used when backing it up. # We don't want to lose the backup of this file but we also don't # want to routinely ignore tar status=2. Solution is to make # --atime-preserve a per-backup argument and omit it when backing # up aquota.user separately. # IMPORTANT: include --atime-preserve on all of these except aquota.user Here are the options we have set for backup paths: backup = /home/users --atime-preserve --exclude=aquota.user --exclude=.gvfs --exclude=S.gpg-agent --exclude=.adobe --exclude=.dropbox --exclude=.cache --exclude-caches-all backup = /home/users/aquota.user backup = /home --atime-preserve --exclude=.gvfs --exclude=.gnupg --exclude=aquota.user Still getting these errors: /bin/tar: home/users/aquota.user: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted /bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Backup of /home/users FAILED Backed up /home/users to /ourdomain/home-users-FAILED.tgz
