Hi,

I would like to save all the data on a linux server with rsync+ssh+sudo, 
I have a problem with the BackupFilesExclude parameter.

I do my tests on the tree "/usr/local" before "/", I'm trying to save 
all "/usr/local" except the directory "/usr/local/bin".

I change the configuration with the web interface. I use BackupPC 
3.1.0-3 (Debian/Lenny).


1) With this configuration:
$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'iso-8859-15';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc 
host1.juliana-multimedia.com sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/usr/local'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/usr/local' => [
     '/bin',
     ''
   ]
};

There is this line in the file auth.log:
sudo: backuppc : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/var/lib/backuppc ; USER=root ; 
COMMAND=/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner 
--group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive 
--exclude= --ignore-times . /usr/local/


2) With this configuration:
$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'iso-8859-15';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc 
host1.juliana-multimedia.com sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/usr/local'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/usr/local' => [
     'bin',
     ''
   ]
};

There is this line in the file auth.log:
sudo: backuppc : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/var/lib/backuppc ; USER=root ; 
COMMAND=/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner 
--group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive 
--exclude= --ignore-times . /usr/local/

$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'iso-8859-15';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc 
host1.juliana-multimedia.com sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/usr/local'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/usr/local' => [
     '/bin'
   ]
};

There is this line in the file auth.log:
sudo: backuppc : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/var/lib/backuppc ; USER=root ;

The directory "/usr/local/bin" are never excluded.  :o(

I'm trying all possibilities without success to exclude a directory. Can 
you help me please?

Regards.
