Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupFilesExcludes using rsync being ignored

Thanks Mark
I had tried the * wildcard which did not work but had not prepended
the / before each directory. I'll give that a go next

hi,
This works for me on my Ubuntu 14.04 backuppc server:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'/mnt',
'/net',
'/tmp',
'/proc',
'/sys',
'/dev',
'/run'
]
};

Hi all
this appears to be a common question for new backuppc users.
Despite trawling this mailing list and google I am still unable
to find a solution.
A newly built (due disk failure) Ubuntu 14.04 server running
Backuppc 3.2.1 from Ubuntu repositories.
Backing up a load of Linux servers with RSyncName
set as /
I want to then exclude subdirectories eg /proc, /sys, /tmp etc.
I've copied the setup from another working backup server on
which the excludes have all been added via the GUI with the
paths as new keys so the /etc/backuppc/config.pl excludes
section looks like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/var/tmp' => [
''
],
'/pagefile.sys' => [
''
],
'/var/spool' => [
''
],
The old server works as expected but on the new server the
excluded list is being ignored and so the pool is filling up
with contents of /proc etc.
Most forum posts I've read show a different syntax in the
/etc/backuppc/config.pl file which I've managed to emulate by
adding the exclusions to the GUI by adding / in the key then
using the insert button to add excluded directories. This ends
up with config.pl file looking more like what others are posting
here but the exclusion files are still not being read.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'proc',
'sys',
'*/Cache',
'RECYCLER',
'System Volume Information',
'dev',
'lost+found',
'tmp',
I am fairly sure I have the syntax of the exclude list correct
now, though advice to the contrary is welcome. I've also tried
editing the config.pl file using the * wildcard and am trying to
run backup now but I suspect this will fail too.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'proc',
'sys',
Am I missing something rudimentary here? I've compared a working
and non-working backuppc server and cannot see anything
different in the 2 configs, at least til I rejigged things above
so am at a loss as to why one works and the other does not.
Any pointers gratefully received.
regards
