Thank you guys for your feedback. FYI the "XferMethod" I am using is rsync and
the suggested config listed bellow is working. Apparently, one have to
specify a share(s) in "RsyncShareName" and use it in "BackupFilesExclude" to
specify what exactly to be excluded under that share.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'/proc',
'/sys'
]
};
Best regrads
