[BackupPC-users] exclude not working
hi,
on Ubuntu 12.04, BackupPC 3.3.0
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/data',
'/raid'
];
$Conf{ClientTimeout} = 72;
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' = [
'/mnt',
'/net',
'/tmp',
'/proc',
'/sys',
'/dev',
'/run',
'/*/data/WBM_spool',
'/*/data/EPSCoR/WBM/WBM_spool',
'/*/data/WBM/WBM_Spool'
]
};
It still backups WBM_Spool, I have also tried this in the exclude list:
'/raid/data/WBM/WBM_Spool'
Is the backup of /data overriding the exclude?

I'm not sure what you mean by overriding the exclude (do you have includes
you're not listing?) but this exclusion should be working for:
/data/*/data/WBM/WBM_Spool
/raid/*/data/WBM/WBM_Spool
Note that this wouldn't include
/raid/data/WBM/WBM_Spool
Nor would '/raid/data/WBM/WBM_Spool', which would exclude
/data/raid/data/WBM/WBM_Spool
/raid/raid/data/WBM/WBM_Spool
Note that I'm assuming that your rsync modules point to their root-based
equivalents in the filesystem. You can, of course, point them anywhere.
At any rate, if your goal is to exclude '/raid/data/WBM/WBM_Spool' then
the correct exclude to use is:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/raid' = [
'/data/WBM_Spool',
]
};
You can replace '/raid' with a wildcard, or any part of '/data/WBM_Spool',
but note that if you add extra wildcards and slashes, it probably won't
match the directory you wish to exclude.

hi,
Those were all of my includes just /raid and /data.
I will update the configuration to your suggestion
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/raid' = [
'/data/WBM_Spool',
]
};
I should be able to check the log file before the work day is out and
make sure it is working.
Thank you.

To simplify, I left out your other excludes, and to complicate things, I
left in a gratuitous comma (sorry about that.)

Hi Mark,
I, too, have been having problems with exclude. See the (long) thread
titled Syntax for excluding .gvfs.
What I discovered is that if you use the wildcard, *, it must be quoted
otherwise all the excludes are ignored so 'raid1/*/tilecache' should be
'raid1/*/tilecache'.
Also, though I'm not 100% sure about this,
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' = [
...
should be
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/raid1' = [
...

Both of these are correct. The first will apply the exclusion to all of
your shares, while the second will only apply the exclusion to the
/raid1 share.
Note that if you use the second format, you need to be sure that the
sharename (/raid1 in this case) matches exactly with what you
specified for the (Rsync|Tar|Smb)ShareName.

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.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude not working as expected
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.

All of my excludes look like this:

'/sys', '/media'];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'wholedrive';
They seem to work fine. I'm using 3.0.0beta3. Is your rsync share name
correct? Shouldn't your exclude path be _relative_ to that directory
then? My wholedrive is /, so my directories are relative. Yours
aren't.

Shouldn't your exclude path be _relative_ to that directory
then?
correct, you should have
$Conf {BackupFilesExclude} = [ '/var/backups' ];
Note that
$Conf {BackupFilesExclude} = [ 'var/backups' ];
would work too, but it would also exclude something like
'/usr/local/some/further/directories/var/backups', should it exist.
I wrote a while back in another thread that exclude paths are anchored to
the root of the share by BackupPC. That is wrong. *Include paths* are
($Conf {BackupFilesOnly} that is), exclude paths aren't. You need to specify
a leading slash if you want to guarantee that only /usr/local/var/backups
matches. Note also that you *could* append a trailing slash ('/var/backups/')
to make /usr/local/var/backups (and its contents) be excluded *only if* it is
a directory. If you, at a later point, replaced it with a softlink to some
place else, the softlink (but not the directory it points to, unless that is
also below /usr/local and not excluded) would then be backed up. It probably
doesn't make much difference in this case, but it would if you, for example,
used something like
$Conf {BackupFilesExclude} = [ '/var/backups/*/' ];
(backup all files in /usr/local/var/backups but not the directories). That
is probably not a particularly good example, unless it is coincidentally
the backuppc user's home directory ... you might even be able to do fancy
stuff like
$Conf {BackupFilesExclude} = [ '+ /var/backups/.ssh/', '/var/backups/*/' ];
though that is unfortunately untested (and possibly counter-intuitive). What
I *did* test though, is that rsync [2.6.4] matches '.ssh' with '*', though
the man pages claims that shell filename matching rules are used.
I hope that was not too confusing :).

Holger
