ok, to exclude the follwing files that can be found in any
user-directory C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME), I followed your
suggestion and put intomy CLIENT.PL:
[...]
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/home','/etc','/cygdrive/c/Dokumente und
Einstellungen/'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'c' => ['/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/NTUSER.DAT','/Dokumente und
Einstellungen/*/ntuser.dat.LOG','/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/Lokale
Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat','/Dokumente
und Einstellungen/*/Lokale
Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat','/UsrClass.dat.LOG'],
};
[...]

The BackuPC XferLOG (Extracting only Errors) still shows:
[...]
Remote[1]: rsync: send_files failed to open "/cygdrive/c/Dokumente und
Einstellungen/pia/ntuser.dat.LOG": Device or resource busy (16)
Remote[1]: rsync: send_files failed to open "/cygdrive/c/Dokumente und
Einstellungen/root/ntuser.dat.LOG": Device or resource busy (16)

the same for all the other filenames above that should be excluded
from the backup (NTUSER.DAT, UstClass.dat.LOG etc). So what am I doing
wrong with the above exclude syntax?
