Your share names are not matching up. It should look like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'C$' => ['/MS_OUTLOOK/*'],
};

First, the 'c' should be 'C$' - it should match the share name.
Also, you can't use wildcards in $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}. You
need to use an absolute path.

Once again the 'c' should be 'C$'.
Unfortunately smbclient doesn't allow you to use both
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}. One choice
is to change the share to be just the directory tree you want to
back up and leave $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} empty.
Using wildcards in $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} with smbclient is ok,
but you need to use '\' instead of '/':
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'C$' => ['\\Program Files\\*', '\\WINDOWS\\*'],
'C$' => ['\\Documents and Settings\\*'],
};
(If you are entering this via the CGI interface you only need
to enter a single '\'.)

[BackupPC-users] BackupFilesExclude and BackupFilesOnly Not Working
Good Morning All
I have installed backuppc latest version on my ubuntu 7.10 Server.
I am using it to backup WinXP workstations that are on a Win2003 Small Bussines
Server.
The problem is that it is backuping up the ws's entiry C Driver, ratter than a
particular Directory.
Here is my config.pl (I am only showing what i changed)
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'administrator';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'mypass';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'C$'
];
Here is my workstation.pl (showing all)
#FILES TO BACKUP
#-
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'c' => ['/MS_OUTLOOK/*'],
};
#FILES TO EXCLUDE
#-
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'c' => ['/Program Files/*', '/WINDOWS/*'],
'c' => ['/Documents and Settings/*'],
};
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'score//administrator';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'mypass';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
I need to know what I am doing wrong.
Thank you,
Bre-x

I would suggest you do not need this. On the client in the rsyncd.conf
file you will specify that the module "docs" is the folder C:\docs, so
when backuppc does a backup of the module docs, only that directory
will be backed up anyway. So, delete this section.

SmbShareName is not even relevant since you are using rsyncd not smb
for your backups. Remove this line.
> $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
> '/winnt/tmp' => [

> ]
> };
Again, remove this. You are saying for the module "/winnt/tmp" you
want to exclude the file/dir called ''. I'm not sure what would happen
if you really did have a matching module, but since you don't, just
remove the whole thing. If you had a dir called c:\docs\temp that you
wanted to exclude, it might look like this (I'm kinda guessing, so
this might also be wrong, try with a simple config, and when it works,
add the fancy stuff later)
$Conf{BaackupFilesExclude} = {
'docs' => [ 'temp' ],
};
Hope that all helps.
Regards,
Adam

[BackupPC-users] No files dumped for share docs
Hi all,
i got an error when trying to backup my windows. Backuppc works with my linux
clients using rsync and ssh, all is fine. But when i try to add a windows
client, i got errors. I
want to use rsyncd on windows xp, install seems fine, rsyncd.secrets and
rsyncd.conf are configured, i open firewall and check rsync.exe as service. All
is running fine(?).
When i try to save the windows client, i got this error :
I have a client.pl file. Strange stuff (maybe not) to me is the Sent
include/exclude. I tried to delete the exclude reference, but without success.
If someone got any idea, it would be really appreciate.
