 Hi Bowie

 Thanks for clearing that up. So does that mean I should also amend these
 other excludes by putting a forward slash in front?

 'etc/fstab', == '/etc/fstab',

 'var/cache/apt/archives/*', == '/var/cache/apt/archives/*',
   

Yes, anything that should only match at the beginning of the path should
start with a slash.  This works in much the same way it does on the
command line:

# cd proc

This will take you into any directory called 'proc' that is available in
whatever the current directory happens to be.

# cd /proc

This explicitly takes you to the '/proc' directory no matter where you
start from.

 Hi Guys

 I have a config file that looks likes this:

 $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [

 I’ve got an exclude in there for “proc”, the problem I’m getting is
 that the “proc” is also getting excluded from “/opt/webmin/proc” I
 only want the proc directly on the root “/” share to be excluded. How
 can I make sure the no other “proc” folders are excluded?


You are telling it that you want all files/directories called 'proc' to
be excluded. If you only want to exclude '/proc', then list it that way.
You probably want to do the same thing with most of the rest of your
list unless you are also wanting to exclude all 'tmp' directories, etc.

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' = [
'/dev',
'/proc',
'/sys',
'/tmp',
...
'HDD2'
]
};

Anything that you want to be explicitly excluded you will need to put the
full path in the excludes. Otherwise if it matches anywhere else in the
filesystem it will be excluded.

I've got an exclude in there for proc, the problem I'm getting is that the
proc is also getting excluded from /opt/webmin/proc I only want the proc
directly on the root / share to be excluded. How can I make sure the no
