First, the 'c' should be 'C$' - it should match the share name.
Also, you can't use wildcards in $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}.  You
need to use an absolute path.

Once again the 'c' should be 'C$'.

Unfortunately smbclient doesn't allow you to use both
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}. One choice
is to change the share to be just the directory tree you want to
back up and leave $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} empty.

Using wildcards in $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} with smbclient is ok,
but you need to use '\' instead of '/':

 $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
        'C$' => ['\\Program Files\\*', '\\WINDOWS\\*'],
        'C$' => ['\\Documents and Settings\\*'],
     };

(If you are entering this via the CGI interface you only need
to enter a single '\'.)
