Yohoo!

On the first steps with BackupPC I used the "--one-file-system" for
rsync which works fine for testing purpose.

But now I want to include some more directories and not only /

So I figured out $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} would be the parameter to use.

Currently I'm only using rsync as tranfer methods as all hosts are Linux
boxes.

Now I created a file under /etc/BackupPC/pc host.pl and added the
following statement:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
~  '*.isa' => [
~    ''
~  ]
};

I think the above is wrong as it doesn't work. But how is the correct way?

I don't understand the documentation for this statement. I can exclude a
whole directory like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = /tmp;
And I can exclude several directories:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/tmp','/proc'];

What would be the syntax if I want to exclude only some files from a
specified folder (or some flies globally on this host)?


Thanks

Christian
