Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclusions List

 

Sad but true--this issue comes up more than any other on this list. I don't
know if anyone gets excludes to work.

Ok so I've updated stuff and things sorta work but not exactly how I want.

The rsync exclude works but the exclusion list still doesn't work.

Exclusion list now looks like:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '*' => [
     '*/*.mp3'
   ]
};
