Hi,
I'm trying to backup my macbook by my linuxbox machine, all the
machine are connected by a wired lan.
I'm using Backuppc 3.1.0 on Ubuntu 10.04, and it works to backup a
windows machine by samba and a local usb disk by tar.
Also for the usb disk I had problems to backup only two folders and
not the Time Machine one, so I use this file to configure the usb disk
backupc:

$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'localhost';
$Conf{TarShareName} = [
  '/media/My_Passport/foto', '/media/My_Passport/gps'
];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = '2';

Now I've made this configuration file for the Macbook:

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
  'lorenzo'
];
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'tvlgalccllz';
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'lorenzo perone';
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.100.100';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => []
};
$Conf{TarShareName} = [
  '/lorenzo'
];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
  '/Pictures' => [
    ''
  ]
};
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = '2';

but backuppc try to backup all my samba share "lorenzo" (my home)
without finish the backup in one night.
My home is about 127 GB.

I would like to backup only some folders.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Lorenzo Perone
