Good evening,

First of al great product! :) At work I had to configure a backup
server so I decided to use BackupPC because of the samba support and
nice web interface. However our backup policy is somewhat different
then normal... I think, because I couldn't find the functionality I
was looking for:
The setup:
//host/DiskD/Projects/ < here from all source files must be backup-ed
but not the compile files and the documentation etc.
//host/DiskD/MyDocs/ < here all must be backup-ed but not some default
windows crap

The problem was that you can't enter and BackupFilesOnly and
BackupFilesExcept at the same time and you can't enter the path in the
Share because smbclient doesn't understand it. That's why I came up
with this idea to let the Smb.pm handle the //host/share/path problem
by splitting it into the Share and Directory section so you can add
multiple rules for the same share with and use different Only and
Except rules without the need to specify all possibilities.

Excuse me for my bad perl skills but here is a proof of concept:

Notable changes are at lines: 55, 120+ 129, 137+

Didn't had time to test it though will be at work in about 8 hours so
then I can see if all went well.

Cheers,
Nick van IJzendoorn
