You are telling it that you want all files/directories called 'proc' to
be excluded. If you only want to exclude '/proc', then list it that way.
You probably want to do the same thing with most of the rest of your
list unless you are also wanting to exclude all 'tmp' directories, etc.

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/dev',
'/proc',
'/sys',
'/tmp',
...
'HDD2'
]
};
