I've added the following line to my CLIENT.pl, unfortuantely the files
I want to exclude still get backed up. BackupPC seems to ignore the
BackupFilesExclude-settings:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
 'c' => 
['*\\UsrClass.dat','*\\UsrClass.dat.log','*\\NTUSER.DAT','*\\ntuser.dat.log','*\\parent.lock'],
};

I'm not sure if I really need the double backslash's?
Why can't I just use:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
 'c' => ['*/UsrClass.dat','*/UsrClass.dat.log'],
};

confusing ... :-)
