Hello All,

I'm having a terrible time trying to get BackupPC to backup just one single 
directory.  The directory I want to grab is /var/lib/mysql/backups.  I only 
want to backup the contents of this directory and subdirectories, NOT 
everything in /var/lib/mysql.  So, here are some conifgs:

/etc/backuppc/pc/serverConfig.pl:

$Conf&#123;FullKeepCnt&#125; = &#91;
&nbsp; 0
&#93;;
$Conf&#123;IncrKeepCnt&#125; = 0;
$Conf&#123;FullKeepCntMin&#125; = 0;
$Conf&#123;BackupFilesOnly&#125; = &#123;
&nbsp; '/var/lib/mysql/backups' => &#91;
&nbsp; &nbsp; '',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/var/lib/mysql/backups'
&nbsp; &#93;
&#125;;


/etc/backuppc/config.pl snippet:

$Conf&#123;BackupFilesExclude&#125; = &#123;
&nbsp; '/' => &#91;
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/proc',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/var/named/chroot/proc',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/sys',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/var/lib/mysql',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/tmp',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/var/spool/mqueue',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/var/cache',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/var/log',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/var/spool/mail',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/USBDrive',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/opt/mysql'
&nbsp; &#93;,
&nbsp; 'C$' => &#91;
&nbsp; &nbsp; '\\WINDOWS\\system32\\config\\*',
&nbsp; &nbsp; '\\WINDOWS\\Temp\\*'
&nbsp; &#93;
&#125;;


This configuration isn't backing up the /var/lib/mysql/backups folder.  If I 
use a server specific override list of things to exclude, and leave OFF the 
/var/lib/mysql directory, the entire /var/lib/mysql directory is backed up.  
Right now I'm pretty stuck on how to force backupPC to backup only one 
directory on a specific server without affecting the backups of every other 
server under BUPCs reach.  Any insight would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks,
Nate
