If your machine is called 'foo.bar.tld' in your /etc/backuppc/hosts file,
then create a file called '/etc/backuppc/foo.bar.tld.pl' and give it
contents that redefine variables in the config.pl file.

Here's an example file, which even has exclude patterns for two possible
rsyncd shares that you might connect to (even tho only one is being
connected to); 'docs' (c:\Documents and Settings\) and 'cDrive' (C:\). It's
really a 'template' of sorts, so there's a few things in there which can be
uncommented or commented if there's a need.

#$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.113.113;
        
$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1;
        
# if at all possible use rsync or rsyncd for the transport mechanism
# it catches changed files more reliably and only transfers the changes
# even with full backups
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive'];
