Of course I could do. I have already set

    $Conf{XferLogLevel} = '3';

For my machine's .pl configuration file under /etc/BackupPC.

And now, I know why it is slower :-( It simply transfers *all* my files 
of the share. It seems to ignore my settings completely:

    $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
      'cle'
    ];
    $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
      'xotclIDE' => [
        '/stow-1.3.3'
      ]
    };
    $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
      '*.flv' => [
        '*.flv'
      ]
    };

I think you are right! But unfortunately the problem seems worse than 
only transferring those data unnecessarily. It also do *create* all the 
files it should not!

So now I am really stuck! I cannot see what I did wrong :-(

So shall I attach my log to an email to this list? The XferLOG does not 
seem to contain any helpful except that it creates all those wrong 
files. Or is there any other logging option I could set to get a more 
useful log?
