Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude directories
I hope this doesn't confuse more than help but I had a problem with the
"=>" share notation using rsyncd. The system ignored my exclusions. The
instructions say that this happens only if you are using smb (as I
remember) but not other transfer protocols. I switched to a streight
comma delimited list for the include files and cleared the problem.
Unless you have Windoz machines I don't think the share notation is needed.

strictly, this depends on the XferMethod (which the OP did not
mention), but
the above looks as though it should mostly work. For rsync(d),
the '*/' in the
patterns is meaningless except for preventing '.deleted' at
the top level
within the share to match. Probably the same holds for tar,
but I didn't
check. As for smb, there always seems to be confusion whether
in-/excludes
need to contain slashes or backslashes. My memory seems to say
"backslashes",
but I haven't ever used smb XferMethod myself.
In any case, it should be possible to use wildcards and *not*
list all paths.
Again, the syntax of in-/excludes depends on the XferMethod used.

Craig already explained this before on the list. At one time BackupPC
only worked with Samba shares and that's how the share terminology got
into BackupPC.

I was sadly happy to see another person stumble with
this problem since I did too. I remain convinced that
the way this works is very unintuitive. Trying
to use terminology such as "share" and "key name"
when using rsync just doesn't make sense.

See the examples in the docs:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item__conf_backupfilesexclude_
Since you're using rsync shares, you have to specify the share name
and a dir relative to the share, so I guess it should be:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home/userX/BackupTest' => ['/IgnoreThisDir'],
};

[BackupPC-users] Exclude directories from backup - rsync
Hello,
I have some really big directories in the home dir. I would like to
exclude those dirs from backup but can not get it working.
My client config:
#
# Local server backup of /etc as user backuppc
#
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/etc',
'/root',
'/home/userX/BackupTest'
];
# Don't do backups between Midnight and 9am
# PC'c should be backed up during the day
# Backed up at first wakeup after 9am
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = '0';
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = '3';
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
'hourEnd' => '9',
'weekDays' => [
'0',
'1',
'2',
'3',
'4',
'5',
'6'
],
'hourBegin' => '0'
}
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} =
[
'/home/userX/BackupTest/IgnoreThisDir'
];
Any idea?

That's correct. If you have just one array, that's applied to all drives.
Why it solves your problem is:

your excludes were for shares 'c' and 'd' while you were backing up shares
'cDrive' and 'dDrive', for which they did not apply. So,
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive','dDrive'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'cDrive' => ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary
Internet Files','/WINDOWS/Temp','/pagefile.sys',' hiberfil.sys','/RECYCLER'],
'dDrive' => ['/Download'],
};
should do what you really want :).

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude directories - syntax problems?
I kept trying any other way and finally SOLVED the problem by just doing:
Config.pl of the PC:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive','dDrive'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local
Settings/Temporary Internet Files','/WINDOWS/Temp','
/pagefile.sys',' hiberfil.sys','/RECYCLER', '/Download'];
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '';
So I guess the exclusions apply to both drive even if they don't exit in
both. Fact is, these directories are excluded now!
Thanks and have a good day!
Guy
2007/3/30, Guy Malacrida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Stupid of me, I had not define the d: drive in the rsync.conf file in the
computer to be backed-up, sorry for that!
Last log shows both c: and d: drive were properly backed-up yesterday,
although the exclude are still not considered.
I then need to fix how to exclude these directories. What could be wrong
in the syntax here, any idea?
Config.pl of the PC:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive','dDrive'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'c' => ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files','/WINDOWS/Temp','/pagefile.sys',' hiberfil.sys','/RECYCLER'],
'd' => ['/Download'],
};
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '';
Thanks for any hint!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude directories - syntax problems?
Stupid of me, I had not define the d: drive in the rsync.conf file in the
computer to be backed-up, sorry for that!
Last log shows both c: and d: drive were properly backed-up yesterday,
although the exclude are still not considered.
I then need to fix how to exclude these directories. What could be wrong in
the syntax here, any idea?
Config.pl of the PC:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive','dDrive'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'c' => ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files','/WINDOWS/Temp','/pagefile.sys','hiberfil.sys','/RECYCLER'],
'd' => ['/Download'],
};
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '';
Thanks for any hint!

Hi Craig, thanks to take the time to reply my query!
I also don't understand why this is happening but I enclose here after
excerpts of three files, i.e.:
Contents of file /etc/backuppc/config.pl, (MAIN CONFIG.PL file for
backuppc)
###
# What to backup and when to do it
# (can be overridden in the per-PC config.pl)
###
# Name of the host share that is backed up when using SMB. This can be a
# string or an array of strings if there are multiple shares per host.
# Examples:
#
$Conf{SmbShareName}
= 'c'; # backup 'c' share
#
$Conf{SmbShareName}
= ['c', 'd']; # backup 'c' and 'd' shares
#
# This setting only matters if
$Conf{XferMethod}
= 'smb'.
#
$Conf{SmbShareName}
= 'C$', 'D$';
#
##
# General per-PC configuration settings
# (can be overridden in the per-PC
config.pl)
###
#
$Conf{XferMethod}
= 'rsyncd';
#
# This can also be a list of multiple file system paths or modules.
# For example, by adding --one-file-system to
$Conf{RsyncArgs}
you
# can backup each file system separately, which makes restoring one
# bad file system easier. In this case you would list all of the mount
# points:
#
#
$Conf{RsyncShareName}
= ['/', '/var', '/data', '/boot'];
#
$Conf{RsyncShareName}
= '/';
#
# Rsync daemon port on the client, for
$Conf{XferMethod}
= "rsyncd".
#
$Conf{RsyncdClientPort}
= 873;
#
# Rsync daemon user name on client, for
$Conf{XferMethod}
= "rsyncd".
# The user name and password are stored on the client in whatever file
# the "secrets file" parameter in rsyncd.conf points to
# (eg: /etc/rsyncd.secrets).
#
$Conf{RsyncdUserName}
= '';
#
Arguments to rsync for backup. Do not edit the first set unless you
# have a thorough understanding of how File::RsyncP works.
#
# Examples of additional arguments that should work are --exclude/--include,
# eg:
#
#
$Conf{RsyncArgs}
= [
# # original arguments here
# '-v',
# '--exclude', '/proc',
# '--exclude', '*.tmp',

[BackupPC-users] Exclude directories - syntax problems?
Hello,
I am a very happy user of backuppc and take this opportunity to give my
congratulations for this outstanding software. I have implemented backuppc
in my home network (2 WinXP home boxes + Kuduntu laptop).
The programs sits on an Ubuntu 6.10 box and I am using version 2.12 and
rsyncd for the pcs. I am using the programs for a couple of weeks only and
still learn it, and have a lot more to learn (archiving, restore... etc).
But what I saw is that there are many errors in the error.log for files too
long coming from directories that I explicitly excluded !?!
In my config.pl for the PCs
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/WINDOWS/Temp', '/Documents and
Settings/Administrateur/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files',
'/pagefile.sys'];
In the Xferlog for that PC:
Send exclude: /WINDOWS/Temp
So it looks like only the first directory is sent to be excluded but none of
the others?
And then down below many errors ... failed, file name too long for files
in the second directory I excluded in my list above, i.e. the Temporary
Internet files.
I must say I did try without the [ ] brackets and this makes no change. I
tried without space after the coma: no change. I tried without comas but
then backuppc signaled an error in the config.pl file at the line of
exclusions.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance
Guy
